About This Book

Crunching leaves underfoot and the fresh scent of pine fill the air as a girl in a bright red cloak walks through the forest. Suddenly, a pair of sharp eyes watches her from behind the trees, and a low growl rumbles nearby. The journey to Grandma’s house feels much more mysterious and thrilling than ever before.
