In un villaggio vicino al bosco viveva una bambina vivace e curiosa, che si chiamava Cappuccetto Rosso. Un giorno la mamma le chiese di portare un cestino di vivande alla nonna, raccomandandole di non fermarsi nel bosco, per evitare di imbattersi in un ferocissimo lupo. Cappuccetto Rosso le disobbedì e nel bosco si divertì a cantare e danzare con gli animali fino a sera. Quindi riprese il cammino verso casa della nonna. Lungo il percorso incontrò il lupo, che le chiese dove si stesse recando. La bambina gli rispose e la belva progettò di divorare non una, ma ben due prede.

Evie's older sister Cilla is gone.

But Evie can't believe her parents could be that cruel, and she doesn't understand why Cilla isn't responding to her almost daily letters - letters about the school play she didn't get cast in, the distance that's growing between her best friends, and the possibility that she's developing some decidedly un-Catholic feelings about the new girl in her class.
