The 12th installment in the New York Times best-selling series asks: What if Rapunzel's mother drank a potion from the wrong flower? Desperate to save the life of their queen and her unborn child, the good citizens of the kingdom comb the land for the all-healing Sundrop flower to cure her . . . but someone mistakenly picks the blossom of the Moondrop instead. This shimmering flower heals the queen and she delivers a healthy baby girl—with hair as silver and gray as the moon. But with her mysterious hair comes dangerous magical powers: the power to hurt, not heal. For the safety of the kingdom, Rapunzel is locked away in a tower and put under the care of the powerful goodwife, Mother Gothel. For eighteen years Rapunzel stays imprisoned in her tower, knowing she must protect everyone from her magical hair. When she finally decides to leave the only home she's ever known—to see the floating lights that appear on her birthday—she gets caught up in an unexpected adventure with two thieves: a would-be outlaw named Gina, and Flynn Rider, a rogue on the run. Before she can reach her happy ending, Rapunzel learns that there is far more to her story and her magical hair and her future than she ever knew.

Needs to be reworked

I am a huge tangled fan, i loved the Disney movie and disney tv series so i was excited to see this twisted tales book about her. After borrowing this book from my local library, i started reading the book. It bounced between characters and a weird story line of a brother and sister. I had high hopes for this book but i couldnt read through it without giving up in confusion. I felt disappointed to see that this book exemplifies some burn out, and felt that this character and her story were not taken seriously enough. Hope to find a different tangled spin off from someone else.

Nice addition to a good series

I own a lot of fractured fairytale books. And I figured it was time I reviewed some. I really enjoyed this book. It's hard to believe it's number 12 in the series. The author continues to keep things fresh.

Twisted indeed!

What if Rapunzel‘s hair did not heal, but instead killed? This is the premise behind this Disney books—indeed, of the whole series, where the tale is twisted and turned into something that feels horrifying and dreadful. However, the books are absolutely fantastic, well written, and so enjoyable that I have bought every one that is available, read them voraciously, and then added them to my Classroom library. I recommend them to everyone. You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy the creativity and clever writing. Several of my students are reading them right now, and I know they will enjoy them as much as I did!

Fun Read!

Tangled is my favorite movie, so I bought this book as soon as I saw it. It did not disappoint! I loved the creativity in keeping the details of the original story but twisting the whole thing up. It was so fun to read!! Definitely recommend to Tangled fans!!

Great Concept

I love all things Disney. The description made me really want to read this book. I just couldn't get past the first few chapters. It is written great from the chapters I've read but just not my cup of tea. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide for the ARC!
