SHORTLISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR WRITING 2026 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.

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 …

Recensioner i media

'Full of brilliant, wild, misunderstood girls, this is a feminist tale with teeth and a sharp bite. Beth O'Brien is an exciting new talent.' Katya Balen, award-winning author of October, October'A starkly beautiful fairytale. Told in clear, crisp prose, sleek as the song of a wolf, Red, with her mysterious grandmother, forbidden gifts and softly blurred view of the world is a heroine you'll want to follow into the woods at nightfall.' Cerrie Burnell, author, actor and activist'I was captivated by this beautifully written book. Potent, primal and powerful … A masterful debut.' Lui Sit, author of Land of the Last Wildcat
