Shadows of Sherwood

Image result for shadows of sherwood 

Robyn loves to get out at night to explore but when she comes back from a nightly adventure and finds that her parents are gone and blood she is really in for an adventure.  Overnight Robyn goes from a child of a Paliament member to a hoodlum.  On the run from Sheriff Mallet and the new ruler Ignomus Crown, Robyn must use her wits and trust in her new friends.  

This book was quite interesting.  It takes ideas from Robin Hood lore and mixes it with some interesting Moon and Sun lore.  The setting is futuristic.  The characters are fun.  I felt like the book took awhile to get started and the mystery of the Moon Lore and her parents' role in everything is still  bit muddled for me  There is obviously a sequel coming but overall the book ended okay.  I will be curious to see if my students take to this.
