A totally new take on Red Riding Hood with Goldilocks thrown in, and a shout out to “Snow White Rose Red.” The wolf is an ally, the huntsman has a dark story, and the dwarf is more than a little misunderstood. Grandma has been trying to teach Red life lessons, but it takes a quest to teach her some of the biggest. Very clever telling ( )

A remake of the classic story, Little Red Riding Hood. Red is not afraid of the big bad wolf and is full of sass in this book. She is only fearful of one thing in life and that is magic. Otherwise, she is a fearless character in this book. She goes on an adventure to discover a magic potion that will heal her sick Grandmother. Best for ages 8-11. ( )
