Bookroo's summary
In a twist on the classic tale, Rapunzel is trapped in a tower but relies on her STEM skills instead of her hair. She educates a curious prince on simple machines, turning a fairy tale into a lesson in physics. Can her knowledge save the day and change their fate? Discover how brains triumph over brawn in this innovative adventure.
From the publisher
Escaping from a tall tower using one’s hair is SO fairy-tale old school. THIS STEM-smart Rapunzel uses the brain beneath her hair to educate her prince (and readers) on the ways the science of simple machines can save the day. A glossary and critical thinking questions reinforce the story’s key physics concepts.
