Red Rider’s Hood is the second book in Neal Shusterman’s Dark Fusion series, which melds dark fantasy and horror with traditional fairytales. Red Rider’s Hood is a take on the story of Red Riding Hood. In this version, Red, a sixteen year old boy finds himself thrust into the world of the supernatural when he tries to infiltrate The Wolves, a local gang of werewolves that has been terrorizing his neighborhood. Red Rider’s Hood is a nice book for reluctant readers. It has plenty of action and the pacing is quick. It grabs the reader easily, and the plot twists keep the story moving.
