In this choose-your-own-adventure version of Red Riding Hood, the reader has three scenarios to choose from. Will it be the modern day city where the evil fairy tale wolves have retired, but still hunt in the park at night? How about the wartime setting of children being smuggled through the woods to keep them safe from the wolfish soldiers? Or perhaps the future where everyone wears Focus Hoods and is under the mind control of the hoods, except for brave resistance fighters like Agent Granny would suit you better? Whichever setting you choose, there are also many choices within each story. Do you trust the wolf or run? Do you try to fight or freeze in terror? Does someone rescue you? Do you rescue yourself? Or do wind up becoming dessert for a hairy villain?

I was not too sure about this tale. There was definitely some dark undertones to the choices when you picked the path where children were being kidnapped in WWI or the control stories of the future. There was a lot of rescues by shotgun and the familiar tale was in there too. This book could be read over and over with different choices being made each time. I think this book is definitely for middle grades or older.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )
