Sisters Red

fullDescription

Scarlet March lives to hunt the Fenris—the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.
Rosie March once felt her bond with her sister was unbreakable. Owing Scarlett her life, Rosie hunts ferociously alongside her. But even as more girls' bodies pile up in the city and the Fenris seem to be gaining power, Rosie dreams of a life beyond the wolves. She finds herself drawn to Silas, a young woodsman who is deadly with an ax and Scarlett's only friend—but does loving him mean betraying her sister and all that they've worked for?

     June 28, 2010
     The psychosexual implications of "Little Red Riding Hood" have been explored since the days of Bruno Bettelheim, and Pearce (As You Wish) tackles them with enthusiasm in this grisly contemporary reimagining. Scarlett March, 18, scarred and missing an eye after killing the "Fenris" who slaughtered her grandmother, now lives to hunt the werewolflike creatures that relentlessly stalk and murder girls far and wide. Her 16-year-old sister, Rosie, has also been trained to hunt, but feels the tug of a different life and kills Fenris only out of loyalty to her beloved sister. The neighboring woodman's son, Silas, has been a reliable ally, but he, too, has begun to think about other things—including Rosie. Still, all three move from their rural town to Atlanta when the opportunity comes to strike a major blow against the Fenris, the urban landscape becoming the vehicle of discovery for them all. Although it remains fuzzy why the trio shoulders the burden of combating the Fenris alone, rather than exposing the creatures to the rest of the populace, it's a well-told tale that does not suffer from the fairy tale predictability of its outcome. Ages 15–up.

   • content: In Scarlett and Rosie March's world, Fenris (werewolves in the guise of devilishly handsome men) seduce and devour innocent young girls. Scarlett and Rosie are hunters. Scarlett wears a red cloak that conceals her hatchets; Rosie's expertise is knives. Suzanne Toren's lush, husky tones set the mood as she tells a grim fairy tale about two sisters and their grandmother, who were attacked by a wolf-in-salesman's-clothing. As the narrative alternates between the sisters, the two additional actresses give stellar performances. Erin Moon portrays Scarlett with the snarky, feisty attitude of a girl who's been disfigured by a Fenris and is passionate about killing them. Michal Friedman's Rosie is innocent, eager for her first hunt, curious about the world, and ready for love. Terrific YA listening. S.J.H.

     Starred review from May 1, 2010
     Gr 8 Up-For Scarlett and Rosie March, the world is not what it seems. Werewolves, called Fenris, live among them in the form of good-looking men who prey on pretty young girls. When a Fenris attacked the March girls, it killed their grandmother and left them emotionally and, for Scarlett, physically scarred. Since then, they have taken action and revenge. With the help of a friend, Silas, the girls are on a missionto destroy as many Fenris as they can. This goal becomes more complicated when they try to unravel the mystery behind the pack and prevent the next "Potential" from transforming fully into a soulless, evil monster. Pearce is on the mark with this modern-day retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Told by the sisters in alternating chapters, this well-written, high-action adventure grabs readers and never lets go. Rosie and Scarlett are true heroines; smart, tough, and determined, but their special bond is put to test when Rosie and Silas's relationship becomes more than just friendship. A satisfying read with a fantastic cover."Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY"

     April 15, 2010
     Grades 8-12 Pearce mixes werewolves and classic fairy tales to create a lushly romantic story of two sisters who hunt the Fenris, werewolves who roam in search of adolescent girls to eat. Along with her younger sister, Rosie, Scarlett March was orphaned and nearly killed at age 11 by a Fenris who destroyed her grandmother and left her missing an eye. Eight years later, the sisters have become fierce hunters, avenging their grandmother and protecting unknowing young women with the help of their neighbor, a young woodsman named Silas, who wields a mean axe. Silas loves Rosie, but hesitates to come between the sisters strong bond. Scarlett and Rosie alternate narrating chapters, giving the reader a clear view of their inner conflicts. Despite plenty of gore and werewolf transformations, its the compelling love stories that drive the talethe sisters affection for each other, the first breathless flush of infatuation between Rosie and Silas, and Scarletts love of the hunt. Readers of Stephenie Meyer, Donna Jo Napoli, and Shannon Hale will enjoy the excitement, romance, supernatural elements, and fairy tale references.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)

     The lives of Scarlett and Rosie March haven't been normal since a Fenris (werewolf) attacked them as young children. It killed their grandmother and left Scarlett permanently scarred and missing an eye. Now the sisters are in their late teens, and, along with their woodsman friend, Silas, they hunt werewolves. Donning red capes and strong perfume to lure the Fenris, Scarlett wields a hatchet while Rosie throws knives in their fights against the vicious creatures that attack unsuspecting females. For Scarlett, killing Fenris is her whole life, and her obsession takes the three hunters from their small town to Atlanta where numerous clans of werewolves congregate in search of the novel's central mystery element: a Potential Fenris ("a man -- or boy -- able to lose his soul and become a monster" from a single werewolf bite). But Rosie is torn between her devotion to Scarlett and her desire for a life outside of hunting -- one that will hopefully include a romantic relationship with Silas. Although some references to "Little Red Riding Hood" are more effective than others, this modern, urban interpretation reinvents the story for older audiences; plenty of violence, action, and plot twists keep it flowing and, for the most part, plausible and innovative. Telling the tale from the two sisters' perspectives in alternating chapters, Pearce skillfully develops the unique voices of two strong heroines at a crossroads in their lives. cynthia k. ritter

     Attacked by a Fenris (werewolf) as children, Scarlett and Rosie, now teenagers, don red capes and hunt the creatures. For Scarlett, killing Fenris is her whole life; Rosie is torn between devotion to her sister and desire for a different existence. This modern, urban "Little Red Riding Hood" interpretation, told from the sisters' alternating perspectives, includes plenty of violence, action, and plot twists.
