Powerful and compelling, this high-stakes, feminist reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood is perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber and Meagan Spooner. For as long as sixteen-year-old Adele can remember, the village of Oakvale has been surrounded by the dark wood--a forest filled with terrible monsters. A forest that light itself cannot penetrate. Unlike her fellow villagers, Adele cannot avoid the dark wood. Adele is one of a long line of guardians: women who secretly take on the form of a wolf, in order to protect their village. But when accepting her fate means giving up the boy she loves, abandoning the future she imagined for herself, and breaking her own moral code, she must decide how far she is willing to go to keep her neighbors safe.Author: Rachel VincentPublisher: HarperteenPublished: 07/27/2021Pages: 368Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.90lbsSize: 8.30h x 5.70w x 1.40dISBN: 9780062411624Age Range: 14-UPReview Citation(s): Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 06/01/2021Publishers Weekly 05/24/2021School Library Journal 06/01/2021 pg. 71Kirkus Reviews 06/01/2021
