About the book: 

Everyone thinks they know this story, but do they really? In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood travels to her grandmother’s house and encounters something much scarier than a wolf—a dragon! With her sword in hand, Little Red must learn to protect the people she loves.
