The Princess Swap 3: Rapunzel and the Sea Witch (or, The Little Mermaid and the Tower)

Fairy tales meet Freaky Friday in this gorgeous series where there’s a magical mix-up for every princess! 
 
What if Rapunzel made a deal with a sea witch, and the Little Mermaid was imprisoned in a very tall tower? 
 
All Rapunzel wants is the freedom to explore, but she can't step foot outside her tower without triggering her curse (at least, that's what her mother tells her). But when Rapunzel suddenly winds up in a sea witch's lair, she wonders if this could be her chance to change her fate? 
 
Hana isn’t very good at following the rules under the sea, and she’d give anything to explore the human world. But when her best mer-friend is captured by sailors, and Hana suddenly finds herself stuck in a very tall tower with no door, life beneath the waves begins to sound a lot less complicated! 
 
What if your happy ever after got mixed up with someone else's story. . . ?
