October Book #1

Book: Cloaked in Red by Vivian Vande Velde
Age-range: 12 and up

I've had an obsession with Little Red Riding Hood lately. I'm not really sure why, as Ms. Vande Velde points out in her introduction, it breaks almost every good story rule. In this book she re-tells the story a half dozen times. They're all interesting, but my favorite is the one that she tells from the cloaks point of view.

Happy reading!

Like her Rumpelstiltskin book? I really enjoyed that one.

Rumpelstiltskin is better, but this is still worth a read.
