New York Times #1 bestselling author Alex Flinn reimagined the fairy
tale Beauty and the Beast in Beastly and gave a twist to the story
of Sleeping Beauty in A Kiss in Time.
Now with her gothic and darkly romantic YA novel Towering, Alex Flinn
retells the tale of Rapunzel.
When Rachel was taken to live in a tower by a woman she calls Mama, she
was excited. She felt like a princess in a castle. But many years later,
Rachel knows her palace is really a prison, and begins to plan her
escape. She is encouraged by the speed that her golden hair has been
growing. It's gotten long enough to reach the ground. And she's begun
dreaming of a green-eyed man. Could he be out there in the world? Is he
coming to save her? Or will she find a way to save herself?
