Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel
The fairy-tale charm and emotional depth of Ella Enchanted meets the fully developed fantasy world of Harry Potter in this wonderful older middle-grade retelling of Rapunzel.
In all of Tyme, from the Redlands to the Grey, no one is as lucky as Rapunzel. She lives in a magic tower that obeys her every wish; she reads wonderful books starring herself as the heroine; her hair is the longest, most glorious thing in the world. And she knows this because Witch tells her so - her beloved Witch, who protects her from evil princes, the dangerous ground under the tower, even unhappy thoughts. Rapunzel can't imagine any other life.
Then a thief named Jack climbs into her room to steal one of her enchanted roses. He's the first person Rapunzel's ever met who isn't completely charmed by her (well, the first person she's met at all, really), and he is infuriating - especially when he hints that Witch isn't telling her the whole truth. Driven by anger at Jack and her own nameless fears, Rapunzel descends to the ground for the first time and finds a world filled with more peril than Witch promised...and more beauty, wonder, and adventure than she could have dreamed.

About the author
Megan Morrison
6 books34 followersSome may call me a writer, an author perhaps. Yet my 80,000-word memoir, And Then It Rained: Lessons for Life, exists first and foremost because I am a dreamer.
I graduated college with degrees in Business Administration/Marketing, and Psychology, and work as a project director at a large technology organization. I enjoy my work, and love that it's allowed me to travel to many different parts of the country and overseas. But my ambitions reach well beyond my day job.
My mission is about helping kids follow their dreams, and my memoir is about showing them how. I find inspiration in any circumstance, using good times as reinforcement, and bad times as a catalyst for new and more fulfilling opportunities. A famous quote states: "Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain."
I've seen a lot of rain… and I've done a lot of dancing.
