Rapunzel's Revenge

Hale, S., & Hale, D. (2008).  Rapunzel's Revenge.  New York, NY:  Bloomsbury U.S.A. Children's Books.

Rapunzel is stolen from her parents when she was still very young by Mother Gothel because her parents were not able to pay a debt.  Rapunzel lived a carefree life until she discovered the conditions under which her real mother had to live.  She tried to escape but Mother Gothel was able to capture her and put her in a magical tower.  When Rapunzel finds a way to escape the tower, she tries to go back to make sure her mother is released.

Rapunzel's Revenge can be used to teach students about summary writing and listing the events in sequential order.  Since the graphic novel is short, the students can read story and write a short summary about the story and list the events in chronological order as they happened.
