(3) 4-6 Red is afraid her grandmother is dying, and she will go anywhere to find the magic to save her. Shurtliff (à la her previous Rump and Jack) deftly reimagines the familiar story with new framing and interwoven elements from a variety of other fairy tales. Recognizable characters help ground readers while Shurtliff explores themes of fear and loss within the adventure-story context.
