Rapunzel and the Vanishing Village

Rapunzel and the Vanishing Village: A Tangled Novel by Leila Howland     Audio Book:  5hours, 48 minutes       Hardback Book:  288 pages         

I am a fan of the Tangled version of the Rapunzel story so this adventure was right up my alley.    Rapunzel is out of the tower the witch had imprisoned her in and craves an adventure to get away from her kingdom and seek out some new experiences, having been deprived of being out of the world so long.    So she, her boyfriend, Eugene, her best friend, Cassandra and accompanying pets set off on an adventure with good and bad results along the way.    Stopping off to check out a village that is said to be the birth place of the Flynn Rider books, they get way more than they bargained for.    There are strange and mysterious goings on and disappearances within the village of Harmony Glen.   People are said to just up and leave home from time to time without an explaination, ie. the sister of one young man, the fiance' of a young woman who is heartbroken and finally Cassandra herself ups and leaves with no word.   What the heck is going on?   All mysteries will be revealed I just don't want to spoil the story for anyone.    Good Rapunzel story.  Leila Howland has captured the true essence of good fairytale telling.   I recommend this to young and old a good fairytale and mystery story in one.
