THE GIRL IN RED

This audiobook, narrated by the supremely talented January LaVoy, reimagines Little Red Riding Hood as a postapocalyptic tale. An unstoppable virus wipes out most of humanity. Red, a young woman with a prosthetic leg and survival knowledge based mostly on movies, treks hundreds of miles through the woods, toward her grandmother's house and refuge. But rounding up survivors along the way are soldiers, evil men with the darkest of intents--and something even more terrifying. LaVoy's performance is perfectly attuned to Red, a wonderful protagonist who is highly intelligent and capable but emotionally frayed by the loss of loved ones and what she's done to survive. LaVoy also portrays the people in Red's life before and after the collapse, handling character with aplomb. A.T.N. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2019]
