Red

the True Story of Red Riding Hood
Oct 17, 2016joywolf83 rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
So I read her previous book Rump which I thoroughly disliked because it was so depressing. I was not looking forward to "Red" at all. However I went ahead, checked it out from the library, sat down to read a chapter or two. When I came up for air it was chapter 20 of 26. I instantly became engrossed and invested in the story even with the irritating beginning of Goldie. Because who hasn't had that annoying cheerful friend that you just wanna hug their neck. Completely reinventing the story of Red Riding Hood while still being faithful to the source material. (Although I do wish she had been brave enough to gender flip everyone and not just one character) Honestly I can't tell you too much about the story or else it will be spoiled. Basically Red goes on a quest to find a way to stop her grandmother from dying. (Read the author's note in the back for a complete cry fest.) I highly recommend you read this book and suggested to other young people.
