Rapunzel's Revenge by Dean Hale and Shannon Hale

Summary:

        Rapunzel is living a life of unknown secrets. Secluded from the outside world, she is allowed only to venture out into the gardens. She soon finds out though that the world around her, though beautiful, is filled with untruths. With the help of her new friend Jack, Rapunzel heads out to find out what the "outside" world has in store for her.

Evaluation Criteria: Setting and Style

         The setting in Rapunzel’s Revenge is quite different than most other adaptations of this story. It ties in multiple locations and scenes to serve the purpose of showing the change in our character of Rapunzel. Where she once started out very sheltered, she moved onto being hidden, and finally to a place where she can show her strength.
                  The reason that the style in this book is so different is because of the way they adapted this classic tale. The Hales have included speech and diction that does not take away from the message and tone this book orignally had.
