Wolf Siren (illustrated by Ayesha L. Rubio)

The cover of Wolf Siren shows the girl looking unfazed, surrounded by three huge wolves in an autumnal woods.  The title, WOLF SIREN is written in large red letters, woven between the tree branches. Above the girl's head are the words 'Inside every good girl is a wolf'. The name Beth O’Brien appears at the bottom in white text.
A vibrant, evocative and magical debut which centres a positive, empowered disabled character at the heart of a reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood.
​

The woods are hiding a secret… but then so is Red…

Red is not allowed to go into the woods. Everyone knows that they are dangerous – because of their strange magic and the wolves that lurk there… But Red finds herself increasingly drawn to the woods and the place where her grandmother disappeared without a trace three years ago. When the woodcutter fails to return home one night and wolves are spotted close to the village boundary, fear drives a deep and dangerous divide between the villagers and the nature they live alongside.
​

Only Red seems to hold the key – but she has a secret, and exposing it could ruin her family forever …
