Letters From Rapunzel

     Yes, this is an actual book review. I know I haven't written one in a while, but they require A LOT of thinking, and I have not been in the mood for thinking. For at least a year. (I know, sue me.)

     The book is called (bet you can't guess) "Letters From Rapunzel". It's about a really clever girl who has a three standard deviant to prove it. who's mom delivers babies at the hospital, and her dad writes poetry. Or he used to write poetry, before he (again) got Clinical Depression. And that's just one of her problems.
Ever since she took the test to determine her "cognitive abilities" (which, by the way, nobody wanted her to take because her grades were low, but her mom convinced them.) everyone expects her to be a perfect student. They want her grades sky high so they can put her in the GT program (which may or may not be a good idea, she was to busy in All-Day In-School Detention to find out. It's a long story). And she's not a perfect student. She doesn't want to learn about the stuff they teach, and gets it without them anyway. And lets not even start on her essays.
Her pile gets higher. Contains: Jerks, Police, Simple Machines, Mailboxes, Plants, Lies, English Books, and most importantly, A Bridge. (Don't ask. Read.)
 What's the connection between her-lets call her student-and a hair-challenged princess? Lets see: Rapunzel is locked in tower by a witch-Student is locked in "Homework Club" by her working mom. Rapunzel has lots of hair-Student has lots of letters. But the Student has a father under an EVIL SPELL (The doctors called it C.D., but a true heroine can detect an evil spell from a mile away.) while Rapunzel has no family at all, which is equally sad.
When Rapunzel finds a mysterious letter from her dad addressed to P.O. Box #5667 she knows she's found the pea under her mattress. But since when is finding Happily Ever After as easy as just writing back?

This is by Sara Lewis Holmes. It won the Ursula Nordstrom First Fiction Contest. It just got 9 lives from me. (In case you haven't picked up on that yet, I don't use stars. Stars are for astronauts, and I am not an astronaut, Im a cat lover.) YOU WANT TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!
