Peyton’s Review: Red Riding Hood is a riveting novel. I was not able to put the book down. You will be so curious to find out what happens next! In this modernized version of the classic folk tale, Valerie, a young girl in old Britain, is happy and full of life. ~ Until tragedy strikes. ~ Her beloved sister, Lucy, is killed by a menacing beast, the wolf, The wolf has haunted their English town for centuries. The Wolf usually only comes out during a full moon. However, for one week, a special Blood Moon, both full and totally red, appears in the sky. During this time, Valerie searches to discover which villager is behind the wolf, and why he wants her. Is it the one she loves and is destined to marry? Is it a dear family member? Find out in Red Riding Hood. It is a wonderful read that you are sure to enjoy!
