Two potions. One mix-up. A calamity of tall proportions. But that won’t stop Gretchen from getting to that fair, even if she has to drag Rapunzel with her.
When one of her dearest friends has skin in the game, Gretchen’s blunders puts her position as an official at risk. But as usual, Gretchen keeps her blinkers firmly in place. Along with Rapunzel watching the clock to make sure she gets to her party on time, this county fair has never seen a spectacle quite like it.
Sabotage, subterfuge and recklessness won't save the day.
Taking responsibility will. A hard pill to swallow, Gretchen has to decide what's more important to her; a ribbon or a friendship.
