STORY OF RAPUNZEL'S REVENGE.

Write a letter or email to a close friend recommending the book you have just read.




                                                                                                                                 Date:13/06/2013
 Dear Lila,
               How are you? Here I am fine, hope you are also fine there. I just read the book Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon and Dean Hale.  It is about a girl named Rapunzel who lived with her mother Gothel.  It wasn't her real mother. Mother Gothel put her in a tower. She escaped with John.This story is different because Rapunzel has a strong personality and says what she thinks.
           
                    You should read this book because lots of things happen to Rapunzel and John. It is written like a comic so there are lots of pictures and the illustrations are very detailed.  It helps us to understand the story. There are also lots of hard words so you have to think hard. It is a great love story!  They went through a lot of trouble together as they ran from mother Gothel before they fell in love.

                         Lila, let me know what you think about the story after you read it.

Yours sincerely,
Tila
