Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge
4.0
When editor Kelsey Murphy read the opening line of this book at the Middle of the Map SCBWI writing conference I recently attended in Kansas, I had to get my hands on it. This dark, lush, layered retelling of Little Red Riding Hood feels like magic from page one. Author Rosamund Hodge's writing doesn't pull you into her world, it causes that world to spring from the pages, plant itself at your feet, and rise around you to more fully grasp all of your senses. I felt the branches scrape my cheek and the traitors hold my hands. My fingers ached with weaving under pressure and my heart shuddered with hope. I was entranced to the end, as promised.
Pick this one up, my friends. It's beautiful.
