Bookroo's summary

Wolfie, tired of his villainous reputation, decides to rewrite his story by rescuing a princess. But as he battles the book's narrator for control, can he truly change his fate? Will his quest for heroism succeed, or will the narrative's grip prove too strong? Join Wolfie on a whimsical journey where fairytales are turned upside down, and the line between hero and villain blurs. Can a wolf really be a hero, or is he destined to remain the bad guy? Discover the unexpected twists in this playful tale of rebellion and redemption.

From the publisher

I, The Wolf, am sick of being the bad guy. I’m taking over this book. Dear Readers, Fairytales are nonsense. They’re full of wolves pestering pigs and picking on sweet little girls in red hoods. But I would never do those things. I knit! I bake blueberry pie! You know what I really want to do? I WANT TO RESCUE A PRINCESS! And if I can’t? I QUIT! Yours sincerely, Wolfie Wolfie may want to be a hero, but he’s about to discover that arguing with this book’s narrator is not the best way to improve his image…
