Scarlet, the best thing about my book is....

I really enjoy that my book is based off of beloved fairy tales because you think that you can guess what is going to happen next. But really when you guess these things then you are in for a huge surprise because those expected things don't really happen or there are big twists. For example in Little Red Riding Hood little red doesn't have parents or they aren't present in her life it is just her grandmother who cares for her. But in Scarlet Scarlet's mother is dead and her father is insane and homeless and Scarlet rarley sees him anymore. The main similarity is that Scarlet's grandmother does act as her main caregiver. 

Another twist is that the grandmother in the traditional story is sweet and innocent and she also has a baking business. And this is what little red delivers to those who order them from cookies to cakes to pies. But in Scarlet the grandmother was in the army and is a hero of war who came back to have a garden in which she grows produce. That produce is what Scarlet delivers to many restaurants within their city, Paris. She delivers this produce in spaceships, these spaceships are the ones that her grandmother piloted in the war.

  2. Oh this book sounds really interesting. I love how there is a twist on fairy tales, that seems really cool. Another book like that is "Half Upon a Time", it's a little easier but it basically includes a bunch of fairy tales that are different in some way. :)
