Red is 16 and lives with Granny in a cottage in the village, where boarding up the house and hiding during Wolfstime is a means of survival. Red help's Granny with Granny's baked good business, catering as well as door-to-door sales. Red has a constant internal battle between her wild side and her strict, overprotective upbringing, and the issue of "control" as she discovers she has a hot temper when the "mean girls" push her too far. ("When we learn to control it, we needn't fear it," Rumpelstiltskin says in the series.) She has flashbacks to her 13th year when she received her cloak and the nickname "Red." Plagued by nightmares she doesn't understand and a temper she can't control, Red struggles to save Granny's troubled business and to nurture her budding romance with Peter, even as the betrayal of her classmates awakens the wolf within.

I watched the first season of Once Upon A Time, but that was it so maybe much of this book was lost on me. I spent the whole book waiting for something to happen and nothing ever did! I felt like maybe this was written for middle school kids who watch the show because the writing was very simple and everything was very bland. There was no excitement, nothing that was foretold happened and no secrets revealed. sigh I was hoping for a bit more.
