Towering by Alex Flinn

SYNOPSIS:  Rachel is locked away in a tower, watching her hair grow, and wishing for some social interaction.  Wyatt is looking to escape his social life, after the tragic loss of his best friend.  Somehow, they seem destined to find each other, and save each other from their dismal lives.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  As far as content goes, I have very few complaints.  There were some brief sexual references, including an illegitimate pregnancy, but aside from those, the book was very mild in content.  The writing and storytelling wasn't the best I've read, but it was entertaining.  I would recommend it to older readers who like fairy-tale retellings.

AUDIENCE:  Young Adults, older Teens

RATING:  PG with some brief Sexual References

STARS:  2
