I finished reading Rumaysa: A Fairytale by Radiya Hafiza, and it was SO good! It’s kind of like Rapunzel but way cooler because Rumaysa is trapped in a tower too, but she has a magical hijab that glows and helps her escape. How awesome is that? The book mixes up fairytales we all know, like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, but with new twists that make them way more fun.

Rumaysa is a great story about a girl who goes on an amazing adventure and helps people on the way.

I think this is a brilliant book! It takes the original rapunzel tale and adds a muslamic twist. It follows Rumaysa, who has magical powers, and escapes from the witch's tower, determined to find her parents. Along the way, she helps other fairytale characters ( also with a muslamic twist )!

I love this book because it puts a cultural spin on a well-known fairytale. My favourite character is Rumaysa because she is adventurous and she is a hijabi! I just wish it ended when Rumaysa found her parents but it had a very good cliffhanger.

I thought it was an amazing book. I loved how they were based of fairytales but we’re different and used different cultures. It also uses different body types and shapes. I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a book about diversity.

It is really good because it has three stories in it. The thing I don't like about it is at the end it doesn't tell you if Rumaysa finds her parents.

I really liked the twist the author made to the 3 most favourite fairytales. My favourite character was Rumaysa because she is bold and brave. Would recommend it for children 9 +

The best book ever. This might be my favourite book that I've read so far.

Rumaysa is a brilliant book because it is full of adventures. It is a new version of three fairy tales. Rumaysa is the main character who in the first story has to escape the tower where she has been trapped by the evil witch Cordelia. She later helps Cinderayla get to the ball and finally she rescues Sleeping Sara. This book made me laugh and I like Rumaysa the most because she is quick thinking and brave.
