![]() ![]() Sneaking off and playing truant from school, Red's wish comes true in a rather unexpected way. In Red's case, she takes more direct action. Red is me aged 10, wondering if the big wide world was out there to be explored and enjoyed and when that would actually happen to me. Here's where this book had me hooked and this is where I could see the glimmer of delight in Charlotte's eyes as well. Red is in foster care, and feels that there's a whole other life somewhere out there that could take her away from the mundanity of school and home life. They feature female characters, characters that Charlotte can readily get behind and be inspired by and none more so than Red, the feisty red-headed 10 year old and the hero of this tale. There's also something else you may see in common with a lot of our book of the week winners. Exactly what you'll find in "Red's Planet" by Eddie Pittman. One thing you'll spot in common with all of our book of the week winners is the amazing attention to detail in them. ![]()
