Oh, what a sheltered life the beautiful Rapunzel has lived.
Her tower is at the center of her world, and as far as she knows, her world is
the world. Until, that is, Jack the
Beanstalker climbs onto her balcony. He’s come to find a cure for Glyph, the
eldest fairy. And he tricks Rapunzel into following him from the tower.
So begins this delightful tale of an innocent, sheltered
girl who discovers a whole new world as she and Jack follow Glyph’s command to
seek the Woodmother. What a great take on this Grimm Brothers fairy tale. Grounded would be a wonderful choice for
a family read-aloud.
