**Little Red Riding Hood**
Written by Sarah Blakely-Cartwright and David Leslie Johnson.

For all those who loved the story of Little Red Riding Hood as children – this will be the perfect book for you. The story takes on a whole new spin to the traditional children’s tale. Little Red Riding Hood isn’t so little anymore and the woodsman is more dark and mysterious than ever before; although, the wolf is still out to get her, stopping at no lengths to do so. The main character of the story, Valerie, is different to all the other girls in town. She is brave and beautiful and determined. As a child, she saw the wolf, in all its glory and lived to tell the tale, as nobody else before her had done. This is the wolf that over-shadows the small village of Daggerhorn, in which she lives. As Valerie’s romantic interests become increasingly complicated ,the wolf intensifies the terror it brings to the small town. It becomes apparent to the villagers that Valerie is their link to finding out the true identity of the wolf. But who is the wolf? You will have to read the book to find out for yourself. I would recommend this book to older students. It is an exciting, entertaining, well-written read.
