Rapunzel Untangled / Cindy C. Bennett / 294 pages

Rapunzel never wondered what was right outside her door until Fane.  Her mother told her she had a fatal auto-immune disease and that it would kill her to go beyond her suite of rooms in the tower at Gothel Mansion.  She met Fab Fane on Facebook.  He introduced her to many of the things she had missed - pizza, M&M's, poker, Egg McMuffins...kisses.  With her mother out of town, they discover a sinister room in the basement.  Does this room have anything to do with the world-saving prophecy that involves Rapunzel and her fifteen foot long hair?  Miss Bennett wrote this retelling of the fairy tale set in a modern world in which the fairy tale had never existed.  This is a clever, creative twist on the traditional fairy tale, filled with suspense and just the right amount of scary tension and romance.
