Bad Hair Day

Bad Hair Day by Sarah Mlynowski

Whatever After continues. With Rapunzel.

First with Abby's not winning a spelling bee and her gloom, because she wins spelling bees. Jonah talks her into the mirror and Prince the dog leaps after.

They discuss what sorts of fairy tales have forests, but until they find the tower, they do not realize it's Rapunzel, and when they do, and climb up her hair, they discover that Jonah really should have taken off his soccer shoes with their cleats.

It winds on. With Rapunzel's singing getting as much attention as in the original tale, whether Frau Gothel really is a witch, Prince and Jonah turning blue, and more.
