In the third week of Rapunzel Month, we head into the Swiss Alps in the 1500s to discuss Zel by Donna Jo Napoli. This literary retelling of the tale dives into the psychology of not just Rapunzel but also the prince and witch characters by alternating perspectives through its text.  This novel was fascinating to cover, because it was one of the first fairy tale retellings for both Cassie and Drew! Plus this week you'll experience Drew coming up with a conspiracy theory about a goose, and you'll hear the tragic tale of Cassie's elementary school first love!
