About this ebook
‘If you want adventure, you have to march right up to it and kick it in the shins...’
At fourteen, barefoot and running wild, Rose is delighted to be apprenticed to Akiva, the witch of the forest. She thinks it will be all enchantment and excitement, and not so much fuss about baths. The reality is much more sober and practical- that is, until she meets a mysterious wolf in the forest and is tricked into stepping off the path...
In young, naive Rose, Bastian sees a way of escape. Cursed to remain in the shape of a wolf after running afoul of a powerful enchantress, he has lived many decades under a spell, and now he is both desperate and ruthless. But by breaking part of Bastian’s curse, Rose has caught the attention of Cassandra, the enchantress who cursed him: and Cassandra is by no means ready to forgive and forget.
Meanwhile, wardens have been disappearing from the forest, one by one. Rose is certain that Cassandra is behind the disappearances, but can she and Bastian get to the bottom of the matter before Akiva disappears as well? And are Bastian’s motives entirely to be trusted?
Sometimes the little girl in the red hood doesn’t get eaten, and sometimes the wolf isn’t the most frightening thing in the forest.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A delightful tale! I love the quirky characters, the adventurous spirit of Rose, and the character growth in her and Bastian throughout the book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a lovely and cleverly woven story! WR Gingell always delivers a treasure - I’ve re-read this one so many times <3
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5To call this a retelling doesn’t do this tale justice. I was completely taken in to the Forest. Watching our Little Witch grow and the beautiful redemptive love story is something I plan to return to again and again.
