Rendition Supposing Books Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel (Tyme #1)
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.

To think that I was convinced this would be THE fairytale of the year. I should have trusted the saying regarding pretty covers... because this is DNF for me. The dialogs are childish, Rapunzel is extremely whiny, Jack is damn boring and lacks the sparkle he should have had and weird random fairies accompany the story when they don't even need to be there (or so I find, because they're deeply annoying)! This is not worth it... I recommend watching the Disney movie again, instead.BECAUSE MORGAN DECIDED TO BE SNEAKY. THANK YOU, MORGAN =D

A delightful alternative retelling of Rapunzel! I brought the book home to peruse, never intending to actually read it, but was instantly captivated. Morrison builds a fantasy world that is described in a way you can easily picture the setting without being bogged down in details. We are whisked away on an adventure as Rapunzel transforms from a rather annoyingly naive prisoner to a courageous, quick-thinking, kind-hearted girl. No rescues from Prince Charming needed, this gal is strong enough
Put it on your list, preorder it, and then preorder the next one just to save yourself a little time, because you are not getting through Tyme #1 without wanting Tyme #2. It's just fantastic. I don't even know what else to say. Get it!
Grounded is an immensely imaginative take on the story of Rapunzel, exploring friendship, family, and the meaning of bravery.In this tale, Rapunzel freely leaves her tower when she believes the witch (whom she fondly calls simply Witch) is in danger, and that its up to her to keep the only family she has ever known safe. Her journey brings her, and new acquaintance Jack the Beanstalker, clear across the land of Tyme, through places and people she never even knew existed. The journey is of one of
"Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel" retells the old fairy tale with aplomb, invention, and heart. Cosetted and sheltered, Rapunzel doesn't want to leave her perfect tower or her loving Witch. But when Witch is threatened, Rapunzel follows an adventurer named Jack out of the tower, resentful every step of the way. A wise red Fairy tells Rapunzel that as she wanders the wider world of Tyme, the girl must listen to its people and expand her horizons. And listen she does. And as for horizons,
