Product Information

"The second volume of the Scarlet series plunges readers happily into the world of Sherwood Forest and does not end with any resolution, but its spirited action and rich voices hold." --"Kirkus Reviews""" "A must for secondary and public libraries that purchased the first book, this sequel will capture teen interest, and could also serve as a high-energy read-aloud . . . A welcome addition for libraries wishing to promote strong female protagonists." --"School Library Journal" "Gaughen prepares her readers well for volume two by filling in the backstory from the first entry and entices them to read the next entry with a cliff-hanging ending." --"VOYA" "There's plenty of action here, as well as romance, and it appears that there's even more to come." --"Booklist" "Debut novelist Gaughen does more than offer a rip-roaring tale, though it is that. The story, told in Scar's distinctive first-person voice, captivates and gets readers as deeply into the heart of a troubled girl . . . has plenty for both the romantic and the adventure lover." --"Booklist," starred review, on "Scarlet" "Plenty of swashbuckling adventure and a hearty dose of romance power this re-imagining of the legend of Robin Hood." --"Publishers Weekly," starred review, on "Scarlet" "A reimagined Robin Hood tale with a distinctive twist." --"RT Book Reviews "on "Scarlet"
