Rowan Hood: Outlaw Girl of Sherwood Forest

by Nancy Springer
Hennepin County Library, audioCD 4 hours
read by Emily Gray
genre: YA adventure, magic

Rowan's mother has just been murdered and she sets out to find her famous father, Robin Hood. Only he doesn't know she exists . . . There were parts of this story that were very enjoyable and parts that were exasperating. Too much preteen girl angst. It was funny listening to it with Louise and Ann on our quilting weekend. They were yelling at the stereo as I had, "Just tell him!" This will be a good book to recommend to 6th grade girls who like fantasy and adventure stories.
