About the book
Sara Allen is a ten-year-old girl living in Brooklyn, N.Y.. Her greatest wish is to go to Manhattan alone to make her grandmother a strawberry pie. The grandmother of this modern little red hood has been a musical-hall singer and has been married several times. The wolf is mister Woolf, a billionaire pastry beaker who lives near central park in a pie-shaped skyscraper. But the magical thread of this story is focused on Miss Lunatic. An ageless beggar who lives hidden in the Statue of Liberty by day and comes out at night to meditate human misfortune or if necessary, give out a capable elixir to overcome fear.
