(2) YA In this dark take on "Rapunzel," Rachel, who possesses healing tears and rapidly growing hair, has been trapped in a tower for most of her life. When she meets Wyatt, they fall in love. Romantic and atmospheric, the novel effectively contrasts Wyatt's modern-day narration with Rachel's old-fashioned voice; it's rewarding to follow Rachel's growth into a courageous, take-charge protagonist.
