Rapunzel's Revenge

I really liked this story. It's (obviously) a take on Rapunzel - and it's pretty funny. It's written by Shannon and Dean Hale (she's the author of The Goose Girl and Princess Academy.) BUT, it's a comic book - that's what makes it so entertaining! The illustrator is Nathan Hale. Anyway, I thought that it was pretty good, plus it was different from your usual girly story. Creative!

Sorcery and Cecilia, or, the Enchanted Chocolate Pot:

being the correspondence of two young ladies of quality regarding various magical scandals in London and the country.

I thought that this was a pretty interesting book. I really enjoyed reading it. It's a Regency era story containing wizards and magic. What better combination of story can there be?

After reading it, I found out that the two authors started this as a game; they actually wrote it as a correspondence and neither ever discussed the plot, but it developed throughout their letters. (Does that make sense?) Anyway, I thought that was an interesting way to write a book!

This is a series, and I think that I'll read the following two books as well.
