Rapunzel is learning to live in the castle and trying to learn the etiquette of a princess.  When she meets the adventurous Cassandra, who wants to be a soldier, Rapunzel hopes they can be friend.  Rapunzel has to choose a Lady in Waiting, so she decides on Cassandra and they quickly bond over a legend and clues to the Lost Lagoon which should hold the magic of the kingdom of Corona.  However, their friendship is tested when Rapunzel wants to share their secret with Eugene and someone outside the kingdom is also searching for the magic of the Lost Lagoon.  

I loved this sequel to the Tangled movie.  Rapunzel is a good friend and Cassandra has to learn to trust others.  Their fun adventure kept me reading and I enjoyed trying to guess who the bad guy was going to be.  The novel is clean except for a fight sequence towards the end. Fun read.
