The Fairytale Hairdresser and Red Riding Hood by Abie Longstaff brings Kittie Lacey's best friend, Red Riding Hood, into the spotlight in this gorgeously glittery bestselling picture book series.

The Queen of Hearts is hosting a baking competition, and Fairyland is buzzing with excitement! From Rapunzel to the Three Bears, everyone is busy baking tasty treats, and Kittie is just as busy helping her clients look their best for the big event.

Red Riding Hood knows her Granny is sure to win first prize—she makes the best cakes—but when Kittie and Red visit her cottage, Granny and her cakes are nowhere to be seen! A mysterious paw-shaped footprint on the ground provides a clue. Kittie and Red decide to investigate...

Will they find out what happened to Granny and save the day before it's too late?

About the Author

Abie Longstaff (Author) Abie Longstaff is the eldest of six children and grew up in Australia, Hong Kong and France. She knows all about squabbling, chaos and bossing younger sisters around. So she logically began her career as a barrister. She started writing when her children were born. Her favourite childhood books were Hating Alison Ashley, A Little Princess, Maura's Angel and The Black Stallion and she sneakily reads them again sometimes. Abie lives in Hove with her family. Lauren Beard (Illustrator) Lauren Beard is an illustrator based in Manchester. As a child she loved drawing and reading, and would write and illustrate short stories for her two younger brothers. She has been fascinated by animals, fairy tales and folklore since childhood, when she would visit her Irish Grandma and was told to \"watch out for the fairies!\" Her work is hand-drawn and coloured both digitally and by hand. Lauren enjoys adding little details to her illustrations appealing to children and adults alike. Lauren lives with her cat, Sushi, who keeps her company when drawing.
