Horn Book (Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2015)

In a straightforward Rapunzel retelling, Dandelion has been imprisoned in a tower by an evil witch, with only her violin to keep her company. A Cinderella story has Chantella, whose mother was a songstress before she died, competing in a singing competition. The thin modern-set re-imaginings feature manga-like two-tone illustrations that may appeal to reluctant readers. Notes on the source tales are appended.

A dandelion-obsessed witch mother, a car crash, and the attention of teenage boys lead to fourteen-year-old Dandelion's imprisonment in a remote tower. If Dandelion wants to escape the tower (and the control of her witch mother) she must learn how to stand up for herself. A modern retelling of the fairy tale Rapunzel reminds readers that the life we think we know is not always what it seems.
