Many of them sound very good. Many sound like they would be fine reads for adults. I think that is a lot of potential in this type of book.<br /><br />I have heard very good things about Rapunzel Let Down.<br />Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-16081296208782757472016-09-16T08:23:50.891+10:002016-09-16T08:23:50.891+10:00I haven't read anything by that author yet, Da...I haven't read anything by that author yet, Daphne, but I read that the book you mentioned is modeled after T.S.
