About the Book
A graphic novel retelling of Rapunzel set in the American West, where Rapunzel escapes her tower, uses her magical hair as a lasso and whip, and teams up with a wisecracking boy named Jack—of beanstalk fame—to defeat the sorceress Gothel and free the enslaved workers of a mine. Funny, feminist, and action-packed. A hugely entertaining reimagining.
