A long time ago, during the time
of the old, wild west, a young girl named Rapunzel lives in a pleasant
villa, ruled over by her mother, Gothel. But one day, curiosity gets the
best of Rapunzel, and she scales the massive wall surrounding the
villa, only to discover the outside landscape in ruin, and worse; Gothel
isn't her real mother, but a selfish witch who controls a huge chunk of
the world, thanks to her magic, plant-based powers. When Rapunzel
refuses to go along with Gothel's plans of conquest, the witch imprisons
her in a tower (actually a giant tree). Over the years, Rapunzel's
hair grows to an enormous length, until finally, she engineers her own
escape and vows revenge against Gothel. After meeting up with a snarky,
but friendly thief named Jack, the two then set off on an adventure to
defeat the witch and save the wild west. And fashioning her long hair
into lassos and whips, Rapunzel helps various characters along the way,
and makes it her mission to right all of Gothel's wrongs. Rapunzel starts off her adventure
understandably naive about the world (since she was locked in a tower
for years), she quickly comes into her own and learns how to survive in
the rough landscape; using no guns or any other weapons, save for her
hair, her bravery, and her wits. And she makes it clear she'll never
stoop as low as stealing, or using any underhanded methods to get what
she wants. She's incredibly kind and selfless, but won't back down from a
fight either; always putting others before herself.This graphic novel is a great way to compare/contrast the traditional story. Reluctant readers are more likely to pick up a graphic novel to read than a traditional book. Details in the pictures could lead to students making predictions or inferring how the character is feeling.
