Red-The True Story of Red Riding Hood by Liesl Shurtliff*

The final book in Ms. Shurtliff's "true story" series.
My boys love this series (and so do I!).
Red's grandmother is dying so she sets out to find magical objects so her Granny can live forever.  Along the way she encounters some unlikely friends-Goldilocks and the Wolf.  She also discovers easy, quick solutions usually have an  unpleasant consequence.
This book was more sinister than the first two books.  The villains in the other books are almost goofy but the villain in this book is quite evil.  Ms. Shurtliff definitely portrays him well.
Warnings/points to discuss: magic, Granny is a witch (and so is Red), the evil character tries to kill Red and other characters.
*Highly recommend.
*We own this book.
