Yeah I saw this the other day. It looked interesting. I really wish there were more Rapunzel retellings out there

My favorite rapunzel retelling is Cress

I have been meaning to try Rapunzel Untangled!

I really liked The Golden Braid by Melanie Dickerson (Hagenheim 6). It is one of my favorite books of M.Dickerson.

Yes I liked it too!

Rumaysa: A Fairytale looks interesting.

Golden Braid by Melanie dickerson is really good

Yes, it is!

I LOVE that book so much. Even more so since I read it after I read The Princess Spy. Seeing the events from a different perspective but having everything still be new and exciting was amazing. And shows just how talented Melanie Dickerson is.

lol I've read it twice and I will probably read a 3rd time. Dreamy ....sigh :)

Right. I sighed dreamily so many times during that book haha.

I recently read a Rapunzel retelling What Once Was Mine

Sounds cool! I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks for sharing.

Grounded by Megan Morrison was good, there are two others in the series that are retellings of Cinderella and the frog prince.

Elysia Weddell now when I watch tangled I think... ruffians! thugs! emissaries!

Kingdom of Locks by Deborah Grace White and Turret by Camille Peters

Do you like a lot of Deborah Grace White's books? Or is this one your favorite? Because i read the Wild Swans book and couldn't make it through all of it...

I like a lot of hers, the retellings especially. My favorites are Kingdom of Dance and Kingdom of Beauty. Kingdom of Feathers can get a little slow at times, but I very rarely will quit a book. I may pause (for a month…or two…or three), but I didn’t with these.
I really enjoy her books because of how well she ties together the original tales and Disney movies. Or in her newer series, The Singer Tales, she completely ignores the movie and sticks to the original, like not having the little mermaid marry the prince, having Snow White nearly die from a poisoned comb and laces, etc.

Melanie Dickerson's is really good too. I saw that Florence Pugh was cast as the live action Rapunzel.

They’re making a live action one?!?! Awesome!

I know right!!!
I was kinda hoping they would cast Dove Cameron as Rapunzel. But I have heard that Florence Pugh is a good actress.

I really enjoyed what once was mine by Liz Brasswell
