Letters from Rapunzel

Letters from Rapunzel by Sara Holmes

This story is not a fairy tale. Twelve year old Cadence writes letters to a post office box in hopes of understanding her father’s silence while he is in the hospital. Cadence misses him and his poems.

Her father always writes a new poem for Cadence on each of her birthdays. Will he this year?

In Letters from Rapunzel, Cadence experiences her own problems in school even after testing indicates she is much brighter than her school work currently shows.

Cadence must bravely face the truth about her father and her self. An interesting read for fifth or sixth grade and above. Adults would enjoy this with their child as well; a good book to discuss.
