From the New York Times bestselling author of RUMP, comes a
spellbinding fairy tale featuring a brave heroine, a wild wolf, plenty
of magical misadventures, and more!
Red is not afraid of the big bad wolf. She's not afraid of anything . .
. except magic. But when Red's granny falls ill, it seems that only
magic can save her, and fearless Red is forced to confront her one
weakness.
With the help of a blond, porridge-sampling nuisance called Goldie, Red
goes on a quest to cure Granny. Her journey takes her through dwarves'
caverns to a haunted well and a beast's castle. All the while, Red and
Goldie are followed by a wolf and a huntsman--two mortal enemies who
seek the girls' help to defeat each other. And one of them just might
have the magical solution Red is looking for. . . .
Liesl Shurtliff weaves a spellbinding tale, shining the spotlight on a
beloved character from her award-winning debut, Rump: The True Story of
Rumpelstiltskin.
"Moving and filled with hope . . . the charm of Shurtliff's retelling
is how she imbues the storybook tropes with vibrant humanity."--Shelf
