In this enchanting chapter book, Nancy Springer introduces Rowan Hood, a thirteen-year-old girl determined to find her legendary father, Robin Hood. Disguising herself as a boy named Rowan, she ventures into Sherwood Forest, gathering an unlikely band of companions: a half-wolf, half-dog, a runaway princess, and a boy with a hypnotic singing voice. The story beautifully explores themes of identity, family, and belonging as Rowan navigates challenges and comes to terms with her own elfin heritage. It's a fantastic read for children aged 7-11 who enjoy adventure, fantasy, and stories with strong female protagonists.
