About this item
Red has a constant internal battle between her wild side and her strict, overprotective upbringing, and the issue of "control" as she discovers she has a hot temper when the "mean girls" push her too far. ("When we learn to control it, we needn't fear it," Rumpelstiltskin says in the series.) She has flashbacks to her 13th year when she received her cloak and the nickname "Red."Plagued by nightmares she doesn't understand and a temper she can't control, Red struggles to save Granny's troubled business and to nurture her budding romance with Peter, even as the betrayal of her classmates awakens the wolf within.

"Smart, deftly written, and extremely well-observed, Wendy Toliver's LIFTED is so realistic and moving I felt like I was transported right inside Poppy's world, watching as she struggled to navigate her way through a school where appearances are deceiving and no one is quite what they seem. A hard-to-put-down, compelling read!" --ALYSON NOEL, #1 New York Times bestselling author of THE IMMORTALS and THE SOUL SEEKERS series
"LIFTED by Wendy Toliver is an amazing, compelling read, filled with all the realness of being in high school, from humor to love to angst. I haven't met a character so well developed as Poppy since reading SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson. At times heartbreaking, at others uplifting, LIFTED is a book I absolutely loved." --JAMES DASHNER, New York Times bestselling author of THE MAZE RUNNER trilogy
"A haunting morality tale that will leave you questioning just what it means to be 'good.'" --APRILYNNE PIKE, #1 New York Times bestselling author of WINGS
