A vibrant, evocative and magical debut which centres a positive, empowered disabled character at the heart of a reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood. The woods are hiding a secret… but then so is Red… Red is not allowed to go into the woods. Everyone knows that they are dangerous – because of their strange magic and the wolves that lurk there… But Red finds herself increasingly drawn to the woods and the place where her grandmother disappeared without a trace three years ago. When the woodcutter fails to return home one night and wolves are spotted close to the village boundary, fear drives a deep and dangerous divide between the villagers and the nature they live alongside.Only Red seems to hold the key – but she has a secret, and exposing it could ruin her family forever …Beth O’Brien's Wolf Siren is a top pick for young adult readers, blending elements of folklore and fairy tales into a compelling story of self-reliance and social tension. Red's journey into the dangerous woods is a testament to the power of self-esteem and courage.For fans of Jessie Burton (The Restless Girls), Cornelia Funke (Inkspell), and Nathanael Lessore (King of Nothing).HarperCollins Children’s 2025
