Description

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.
