What Big Teeth
By Rose Szabo
What Big Teeth is essentially a story about family. When we meet Eleanor, she has been away at boarding school for so long that her memories of what it is like to live in the mansion at the edge of the sea with a house full of relatives is vague. Vague, but unsettling. Something doesn't seem quite right. And there's a memory that's lingering in the corner of her subconscious. Something that if she could remember, might help her understand why she was sent away in the first place.
As events unfold, we discover that being a Zarrin is dangerous and that everyone in the family has a secret identity. What is Eleanor's? When her grandmother dies, she sets about trying to figure that out. And in the meantime, she must also discover who she can trust; it's not always your family.
What Big Teeth is a suspenseful coming of age tale that is Little Red Riding Hood meets Dracula meets Twilight! It is an age-old tale with a fresh spin. I would recommend it to readers who like a good monster story, but read it with the lights on!
