Dandelion and the Witch

(4) 4-6 Twicetold Tales series. Illustrated by Michelle Lamoreaux. In a straightforward Rapunzel retelling, Dandelion has been imprisoned in a tower by an evil witch, with only her violin to keep her company. A Cinderella story has Chantella, whose mother was a songstress before she died, competing in a singing competition. The thin modern-set re-imaginings feature manga-like two-tone illustrations that may appeal to reluctant readers. Notes on the source tales are appended. Review covers these Twicetold Tales titles: Dandelion and the Witch and The Glass Voice.
