Everyone has read the tale of "Little Red Riding Hood": such a carefree, naïve girl who fell victim to the wolf and had to be saved by the huntsman. I'd like to set that story straight. It all began with a girl, a curse, and a wolf. We all have a hero inside. All it takes is to believe. Cara knew the legends of her village, but she never thought she'd become one.

When Liz wakes up on a beach wearing a tattered wedding dress and her dead husband in her arms, all she wants to do is die along with him. Instead, she is unexpectedly rescued, but Charles' body is left behind. She is determined to go back and recover Charles' body to give a proper burial to her beloved. All is not what it seems, though. Charles is being held captive, and Liz must discover the truth if she is to rescue him. In a race against time, she'll put her life at risk in order to find and keep love forever.

Writing prompts are a superb way of getting the imagination working. A child is able to listen to the prompt and then conjure up a story that comes to mind from that prompt, although it's not as simple as it sounds. The challenge to the child is to find a story no one else will find, using that prompt to give them their initial ideas. This book teaches children to be able to use prompts to produce stories and is split into different categories, so that the child can choose the category that suits the mood.
