Finished Quite Contrary by Richard Roberts. Not as whimsical as his Don't Tell My Parents... books, but just fun-- the protagonist starts out as a very contrary Mary, dons the red hood against some very sensible advice and spends the rest of the book fleeing from a very persistent wolf.
She blasts through a variety of stories, (fairy tales and otherwise) and leaves her imprint upon each until the very end.
It is a dark, pre-pubescent coming-of-age story which I enjoyed thoroughly.
