Description
Book SynopsisA dark, engrossing, blood-drenched tale of the familiar threats to female power—and one girl’s journey to regain it. She’s been good.
But then comes the night of homecoming, when she finds herself running for her life over roots and between trees, a fury of claws and teeth behind her.
A wolf attacks.
Trade Review"In the wake of her Printz Honor–winning Damsel, Arnold blazes a new and equally powerful trail through toxic masculinity. Read, shed your pelt, and be transformed—for blades are being sharpened." — Booklist (starred review) “It’s unsettling how seamlessly Arnold incorporates dark fantasy elements of beastly wolves and cunning hunters into her all-too-realistic tale. A fantastic novel in the #MeToo era, empowering women to share their stories by reaching out, speaking up, and demanding a change.” — School Library Journal (starred review) “At once a sharp critique of male entitlement and a celebration of sisterhood and feminine power, this story will linger with readers long after the final page.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Arnold uses an intriguing blend of magic realism, lyrical prose, and imagery that evokes intimate physical and emotional aspects of young womanhood. A timely and unabashedly feminist twist on a classic fairy tale.” — Kirkus Reviews "This will satisfy readers looking for a vengeful overthrow of the patriarchy that recasts the victims as the victors." — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books "An ultimately empowering, and thoroughly immersive, feminist fairy tale." — Horn Book (starred review) "Deeply and darkly enticing, Red Hood isn't a modern retelling so much as it is the story we should have had all along." — Shelf Awareness
