Sugar Cane: A Caribbean Rapunzel

Storace, Patricia. Sugar Cane: A Caribbean Rapunzel. Illustrated by Raul Colon. Hyperion Books for Children: 2007. ISBN: 9780786807918. Ages: 7 - 13.



This book is about a girl named Sugar Cane, and an evil woman named Madame Fate who takes Sugar Cane away to a tower when she is a year old. Sugar Cane meets a handsome boy named King. She has gorgeous long black curly hair with blue highlights. Sugar Cane and King both love music. It uses beautiful warm sunset colors. the pictures really show how the people felt. It uses lots of musical features. It has lots of closeups. I thought it was a nice story with lots of beautiful pictures. I liked when she let down, and when they showed her hair. I recommend this to girls. For ages 7 to 13. It is for people who like romantic stories.
