Red Hood
Arnold, Elana
Elana
K. Arnold, author of the Printz Honor book Damsel, returns with a dark,
engrossing, blood-drenched tale of the familiar threats to female power-and one
girl's journey to regain it. You are alone in the woods, seen only by the
unblinking yellow moon. Your hands are empty. You are nearly naked. And the
wolf is angry. Since her grandmother became her caretaker when she was four
years old, Bisou Martel has lived a quiet life in a little house in Seattle.
She's kept mostly to herself. 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. Bisou fights back.
A new moon rises. And with it, questions. About the blood in Bisou's past, and
on her hands as she stumbles home. About broken boys and vicious wolves. About
girls lost in the woods-frightened, but not alone.
