Once Upon a Time: Red's Untold Tale
by Wendy Toliver was also released this week. This is a novel inspired by ABC's Once Upon a Time TV series. With season 5 starting this weekend--and can I just say SEASON 5, never saw that coming when this series was announced 6+ years ago--the show is still going strong. This book has a gorgeous cover.Book description:
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 think this is an interesting novel, the so-called Twilight on the contrary ha-ha. It would be very interesting to read. I think the novel will find its fans
