Book Description:Everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Well, at least they think they do. History would have many believe Red was a naïve little girl who brought treats to her grandmother in the dark of the forest. History had it wrong.
After the curse of the wolves came to Timbergard, Red’s father was the only soul brave enough to enter Blakx Forest. However, when the wolves claimed his life, his young daughter took up his bow and began hunting the beasts to fill her need for revenge.
When Captain Hook shows up in the village in search of the rare burning ash that lies on the far borders of the cursed forest, Red agrees to help get him safely through the dangerous land.
The trek through the forest becomes precarious when the group is cornered by a pack of wolves. Red is forced to make a decision that will alter the lives of everyone, including individuals she has yet to meet.
My Thoughts:
I loved this audiobook. The narrator did a fabulous job with the voices and making the story come to life. Red isn't the simple girl we've been told, but a fierce huntress who braves the woods on her own when no one else will. James (captain Hook) comes back to her cursed land to ask her help to free someone the witch took to Oz.
I loved how the author wove in so many of our childhood characters. My son (10 year old) listened to the book with me and enjoyed it just as much as I did. James' change from when Red met him first to now is frustrating but she is going to help her friend anyway. Her grandmother may have been my favorite character!
Great job by this author 5/5!
