The book and concept is good, but I probably would have appreciated it more as a kid and finished the series back then. ( ) A super quick read with a plucky heroine (Ha. Plucky. But she is!). I was hoping for something a bit more like the Enola Holmes series, which I absolutely adore. I think the difference for me was in how I connected with the supporting cast of characters, and while I loved Ty, I didn't feel much for any of the humans other than Rowan. I'll probably give the rest of the series a try since it was such a speedy read, and I'd definitely recommend it to kids, it's just not my favorite from Springer. Springer in her descriptive, captivating way brought you into the forest and allowed you to feel Sherwood Forest and the hearts that beat there. Written for youth--2-6th graders, reading out loud was difficult and didn't read smoothly, but the boys continued to listen, compelled by the threat of danger, the unknown and the wish to find Rowan's father. A story full of magic, danger, and questions to answer, the book compelled us to finish it. After her greenwitch mother is killed by the local lord's men, Rosemary is left with no where to live. With just her half-wolf and a shoddy bow to protect her, Rosemary tramps to Sherwood Forest, where she hopes to find the notorious outlaw Robin Hood--her father. The beginning is particularly enchanting, with lots of earthy details about living off the land. The end is a little contrived ( First in a series of 5. This really is a kids’ book, but it’s fun light reading, and may also be enjoyed by those of all ages who are fans of the Robin Hood legend. Rowan (or Rosemary) has always been told by her mother that she is the daughter of the outlaw Robin Hood. When she is left alone in the world, she decides to run off to the forest, disguised as a boy, to join Robin’s band, and to find out what kind of man her absentee father might be. There are the expected outside-the-law hijinks, as well as some mythic revelations (it seems that Rowan is also a quarter elven, although this never plays heavily into the plot (perhaps it becomes significant in subsequent books?) Rowan must come to terms with Robin Hood and with herself, as she matures and forms her own group of friends in the greenwood. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
