Rapunzel and the Sea Witch (Or, the Little Mermaid and the Tower) -- Kim Bussing, Paperback

What would happen if Rapunzel made a deal with a sea witch, and The Little Mermaid wound up at the top of a very tall tower? Fairy tales meet Freaky Friday in this series, where there's a magical mix-up for every princess!

The enchanting first edition paperback of Rapunzel and the Sea Witch (or, The Little Mermaid and the Tower) will feature dual-toned sprayed edges!

All Rapunzel wants is to explore, but she can't set foot outside her tower without triggering her curse. At least, that's what her mother tells her, and she has no reason not to listen to her mother, right? But when Rapunzel suddenly winds up in a sea witch's lair, she wonders if this could be her chance: not only to see the world, but also to break the curse that's always hung over her. . . .

Princess Hana, meanwhile, has her hands full with this mysterious storm wreaking havoc under the sea. As a mermaid, she's pretty sure humans are at fault--especially after her best friend is captured by sailors. But how is Hana supposed to save him when she suddenly finds herself stuck in a very tall tower with no door?

Happily-ever-after couldn't feel farther away. Can Rapunzel break her curse before it is triggered? And can Hana escape the tower in time to save her kingdom?
