Book Review: Tales From the Hood


Book Review


Title: Tales From the Hood
Author: Michael Buckley
Fiction or Nonfiction: Fiction

My thoughts:

In the book, Tales From the Hood, the whole story is about the Little Red Riding Hood story. The Big Bad Wolf is put on trial for his life. The Grimm Sisters, Sabrina and Daphne, have to find out the truth before the crazy judge sentences him to death. The girls have to try to get the real story while they deal with finding Goldilocks to wake up their parents who are curse with a sleeping spell from a witch. They also have to deal with Puck, the annoying ever after. Sabrina has to deal with growing up without a mom too! The truth that the girls find out will shock you! Some things I loved about the book is how it is written. I love the idea of having a book of a fairytale with a twist. There is such great description on how everything and everyone looks. People ask what I don't like about the book. It is hard to say. I really liked everything. If I had to pick it would be......I don't know!!! I would recommend this book to anybody who likes mysteries or fairy tales and maybe even people who like a little bit of bloody details. There is a little but not a lot of blood. So, overall I loved the book and I think you should read it too!!
