A new take on the classic tale of Rapunzel, particularly the newest Disney version with our favorite rogue Flynn. The story asks... what if instead of the sundrop flower that had all healing abilities... Rapunzel was impacted by the moondrop flower that destroys, even kills everything. Rapunzel is now considered a danger to her family and even the kingdom and is sent off to live with a caretaker... aka Mother Gothel. However this Mother Gothel has much more sinister plans than simply using Rapunzel’s hair to maintain her youth. Rapunzel is still determined to see the floating lantern lights on her birthday but as the events went, Mother Gothel is having none of that. Cue a mysterious crown stealing thief who catches Rapunzel’s eye, especially his wanted poster. Now Rapunzel will need to team up with Flynn and her new friend Gina in order to not only see the floating lights but to uncover her identity, her “mother”s intentions, and survive the upcoming journey. This is told from the perspective of a brother retelling the story to his sister who is in the hospital. It was definitely a unique take on the story and had a much darker undertone. I did enjoy Flynn and the sweet moments between them. I did like the addition of Gina as a best friend for Rapunzel. I found the book to be an enjoyable take on the disney version and would definitely recommend it!
