Diary of Little Red Riding Hood — B.D. Knight

This book takes fairy tales and turns them upside down. Teenagers and young adults will love it. Younger kids may not like it because - well - a couple characters get killed. Not gruesome or anything but they do die.

Of course it is a fairy tale so they may come back some day. :-)

Little Red Riding Hood decides she needs to break away from her mundane life and decides to write a diary to tell her tale. She says she got the idea from reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid but she says she's a girl and can write a diary if she wants to.

She also says she doesn't draw but who puts pictures in diaries anyway? She has a point.

She talks to the wolf and to Little Bo Peep about her plans to escape. They want to go with her.

But things happen. Red Riding Hood feels she is betrayed by Bo Peep and that starts a string of events that rock Fairy Tale Land. Suddenly things are not boring and Red decides she will hang around until all the stories are cleared up.

If you are an adult and enjoyed Fractured Fairy Tales on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show you might even enjoy this story.
