Rapunzel’s Gambit by Mary Mecham.  5 Stars.  Highly recommend for all ages.

Hoard:  a stock or store of money or valued objects, typically one that is secret or carefully guarded.

Rapunzel knows that something must be done to help the people of her kingdom.  Instead of being the typical damsel in distress, she takes matters into her own hands.  She forms a mutual alliance of ….hoarding?? With the dragon that has been “plaguing” her kingdom.  She and the dragon hatch a plan to help each other and those in the kingdom in need.

I found myself rooting for the characters; on the edge of my seat when it started going sideways; laughing at the banter; and awwwing at the end.
