About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling to balance a sense of duty to their family with the natural urge to forge their own path. It is a sophisticated, gritty reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood that centers on two sisters, Scarlett and Rosie, who hunt werewolves to protect other girls. While Scarlett is consumed by trauma and a single minded mission of vengeance, Rosie begins to yearn for a life of normalcy and romance. The story explores the weight of shared trauma, the complexity of sibling bonds, and the difficult transition into adulthood. It is best suited for older teens due to its dark atmosphere and visceral descriptions of combat.
