Robin McKinley's retellings are usually great fun, and this book is no exception. It might not be my favorite McKinley book, but it is still an excellent read!

A Fresh twist on an old tale. If you're of the generation that grew up with Robinhood, you'll appreciate Robin McKinley's spin off. DG
Helpful Score: 2
No surprises in this retelling of the traditional Robin Hood tale, but the characters are full-bodied and real, and McKinley will transport you into the heart of Sherwood Forest for a while. Enjoyable read.

The highest McKinley books in my tastes are the Beauty ones, followed by Sunshine- or alongside Sunshine. But this book isn't far behind. Good characters, interesting storyline, humor, well played emotional scenes without overdoing it, and well desrcibed action scenes. I let my 11 yr old read this.
On the way to living life according to his own plans, Robin becomes an outlaw instead. He encounters loyal friends and the frustration that comes with arguing with them all the time, lol, and faces one enemy after another as each conflict prepares him for the next one.
Really well done book.
