'As [Red] travels deeper into the woods, she learns that the stories meant to scare her are only part of the truth. What the village calls “wild” or “dangerous” is often simply powerful, untamed, and feminine.' This review is EVERYTHING I wanted for readers of Wolf Siren!!! 👇

'Wolf Siren is primarily a tale of womanhood, with strong female roles, and those who stand together with loyalty and courage to defeat all the wrong in their small world.' Thanks to What Book Next for this lovely review!👇 whatbooknext.com/wolf-siren-boo… #BookReview HarperCollins Children's Books

‘Red, what a big heart you have! The better to exercise compassion and overthrow the patriarchy with, my dear.’ I think this has to be my favourite opening line of a Wolf Siren review! ❤️🐺 Read in full here: shelfiebooks.wordpress.com/2025/06/05/wol…

‘This is definitely my top middle grade fantasy for sure. Especially out of the ones l've read in the last 5 years. The stakes were high, there were scenes that absolutely devastated me, & it was incredibly vivid’. Thank you so much Ardin Patterson! 😭❤️ ardinpatterson.wordpress.com/2025/06/12/wol…

Everyone knows the woods are dangerous, full of magic and wolves, though for Red they're a second home. So when the woodcutter is found dead, she knows there's more to it. But how does it connect to her missing grandmother? Read our Wolf Siren review ⤵️ libraries4schools.com/2025/06/26/wol…

Wolf Siren by Beth O'Brien (pub. HarperCollins Children's Books) may be inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, but it's so much more. It's a gripping story about magic, family, superstition and truth, that we'd strongly recommend for older kids who aren't afraid of the Big Bad Wolf! 🐺 #KidsBooks
