Under Aunt Edna’s beady eye (and with the help of her horrid pet crow), poor Rapunzel is forced to stay in her room all day, unable to explore the exciting city down below. Her only solace is her groovy record collection featuring the likes of David Bowie and Blondie.
Roger, lead singer of Roger and the Rascals makes it his mission to introduce himself to the girl with the long hair but when they finally meet, Aunt Edna turns both their worlds upside down.
Will the friends be able to reunite? Will Aunt Edna get her comeuppance? Borrow our tactile adaptation of this fantastic book from our free library and find out!
