"Outrageously funny" --Discovery Girls

★“ With its can-do heroine, witty dialogue and romantic ending, this graphic novel has something for nearly everybody.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"The Hale team creates in engaging heroine. ...This novel presents entertaining girl power at its quirkiest." –VOYA

★“Shannon and Dean Hale’s graphic novel treatment transforms Rapunzel into a spunky, hair-whip-toting cowgirl. Rapunzel’s maturation and growing sophistication are enjoyable to watch, as is the deepening friendship-flowering-into-romance between her and Jack (and yes, he’s that Jack). With such a successful debut, one hopes to see more graphic novels from this trio.” –The Horn Book, starred review

★“This is the tale as you’ve never seen it before. The dialogue is witty, the story is an enticing departure from the original, and the illustrations are magically fun and expressive. Knowing the there are more graphic novels to come from this writing team brings readers their own happily-ever-after.” -School Library Journal, starred review

“The Hales apply a new twist (or three) to the classic tale, creating a strong, sassy, braid-whipping character who waits for no prince. Nathan Hale’s art, stylistically reminiscent of a picture book, provides a snazzy counterpoint to the folksy text. A dash of typical fairy-tale romance, a strong sense of social justice and a spunky heroine make this a standout choice for younger teens.” –Kirkus Reviews

"It is a brilliant and sweet read, bringing an old fairy tail to the present. – Tween Tribune (Online)

“This is going to be the perfect graphic novel for reluctant readers, fairy tail lovers, readers who love fairy tale retellings, and anyone who loves books that make you laugh out loud.” ―thereadingzone.com

“Amazing. Let me repeat it again: amazing. And a piece of advice when reading this book: read slowly. Look at the pictures. Savor the book for itself. I did, and it was so much better that way!” –sophiecouture.com

“This Rapunzel is someone to be admired for her spunk and quick wits. She's not a damsel in distress but a girl to be reckoned with.—SF Revu

“Rapunzel’s Revenge is as clever as it is good-humored. …Mining the depths of fairy tales provides a wealth of material, and giving this one a modern-day twist adds layers of personality to the mix. Believe it or not, this Rapunzel is so much more interesting to read about than what the Brothers Grimm offered.” –Teensread.com

“A rollicking and well-humored adventure and the new, empowered Rapunzel shines as a spirited and capable girl hero.” –North Adams Transcript

"Shannon Hale's comic wit and romantic sensibilities translate well in this new format which blends fairy tale revision, journey quest, Wild West shoot- 'em up, and action adventure into one wild ride." –BCCB
