When Rapunzel learns that the woman she has always called Mother is not actually her mother--and that her real mother has been enslaved by Mother Gothel--she is sent to live in a high tower deep in the forest. Rapunzel uses her hair to escape, and vows to free her mother. I love how Rapunzel takes risks and learns from her mistakes, and does not allow setbacks to crush her spirit. Her friend Jack gets his own story in Calamity Jack.
Publisher description:
Rapunzel escapes her tower-prison all on her own, only to discover a world beyond what she'd ever known before. Determined to rescue her real mother and to seek revenge on her kidnapper would-be mother, Rapunzel and her very long braids team up with Jack (of Giant-killing fame), and together they perform daring deeds and rescues all over the Western landscape, eventually winning the justice they so well deserve.
