Behind the Mic with AudioFile Magazine

RED HOOD by Elana K. Arnold, read by January LaVoy


Listen Later

January LaVoy’s narration creates a visceral world for Elana K. Arnold’s feminist Little Red Riding Hood retelling. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss how the second person point of view can be distancing, but LaVoy’s skilled narration draws listeners right in. Bisou is a 16-year-old who gains incredible powers once she gets her first period—powers that help her face down werewolves. LaVoy’s delivery makes the tension palpable as Bisou fights to save her own life and protect her community and works to understand her grandmother’s dark secrets. January LaVoy shares about narrating this audiobook in her narrator video. Teens can download RED HOOD for free through AudioFile’s SYNC program July 13-19, find out more at audiobooksync.com
