Red: The True Story of Red Riding Hood

A middle grade retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.
There was a lot of mentions to other fairy tales. I liked the journey that Red took, her interactions with other characters and their stories.
I didn't like the reason she was making the journey and her denial about death. She goes on a journey to look for a way to make her grandma not die, but she leaves her alone while she is sick and spends days away. Which to me makes no sense, if she was really worried her sickness she wouldn't go away and leaver the grandma alone, possible diying while she was away.

If this was not a middle grade the grandma problably would have died before she came back or soon after she came.
