Publisher's summary

The 12th installment in the New York Times best-selling series asks: What if Rapunzel's mother drank a potion from the wrong flower?

Desperate to save the life of their queen and her unborn child, the good citizens of the kingdom comb the land for the all-healing Sundrop flower to cure her...but someone mistakenly picks the blossom of the Moondrop instead. This shimmering flower heals the queen, and she delivers a healthy baby girl - with hair as silver and gray as the moon. But with her mysterious hair comes dangerous magical powers: the power to hurt, not heal. For the safety of the kingdom, Rapunzel is locked away in a tower and put under the care of the powerful goodwife Mother Gothel.

For 18 years Rapunzel stays imprisoned in her tower, knowing she must protect everyone from her magical hair. When she finally decides to leave the only home she's ever known - to see the floating lights that appear on her birthday - she gets caught up in an unexpected adventure with two thieves: a would-be outlaw named Gina and Flynn Rider, a rogue on the run. Before she can reach her happy ending, Rapunzel learns that there is far more to her story, her magical hair, and her future than she ever knew.

who edited the audio?

there was a few chapters that abruptly ended in the middle of a sentence, so some of the story was lost.

love it

very long book then what I am use too but over all I enjoyed it I am not a great reader so audible works great for me!

missing some parts

listening to the story some parts are definitely missing. like it was just skipped. the story was great and was able to guess what happened but would like to have those parts

Loved it

this is a great twist and I loved this as much as my daughter loves rapunzel

love it!

I loved everything about this book !!! definitely will recommend. about to listen to the next onr

BEST TWISTED TALE YET

Normally the others are great, but only have small changes to the story, but this one added so much to the point that I love this one so much more than the original. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. GET IT NOW.

Not Bad

Not exactly what I expected but also what I expected. Good Ending. Wish it had part 2.

Love a good twist!

This story was so so good! The character development was so much greater than what we were given in Tangled.

One piece that felt a bit unnecessary was the story within the story. I didn’t really think we needed the context of the brother telling his sister a new version of the fairy tale. But overall it wasn’t too distracting.

My only disappointment was that at the end of a couple chapters it seems as though the sentences were cut off and it skipped ahead. Luckily I planned to buy the physical copy of the story any way but it was still a bit jarring and disappointing.

Terrific Story

Story is fantastic and voice actor is amazing. Definitely worth the credit. I highly recommend this story.

A Whimsical trip into the land of What If

The story was very engaging from the start. I found myself sitting in my car after arriving at home on more than one occasion to finish a chapter. This was enhanced by the reading. The characters really came to life with their emotional state laid bare by the reader. Highly recommended!
