Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-7 This is the concluding title (Philomel, 2005) in Nancy Springer's Tales of Rowan Hood series which is set in Great Britain during the time of Richard I. Rowan, the adventurous daughter of Robin Hood, discovers who was responsible for her mother's murder several years ago and sets out with her cohorts to avenge her death. Peril, suspense, and nail-biting action build during the tale. While some background knowledge from the previous titles helps listeners understand the plot, there is enough background provided throughout this episode that those new to the series will have no trouble understanding the action. Narrator Emily Gray creates a unique voice for each character and offers a well-paced reading. An additional purchase for libraries where the series is popular and for those looking to expand their historical fiction collections. Lynn K. Vanca, Akron-Summit County Public Library, OH

From Booklist

Gr. 4-7. Subtitled The Final Chapter, this fourth (and presumably last) entry in Springer's Tales of Rowan Hood series brings the Sherwood Forest story cycle satisfyingly full circle, returning the narrative focus to Rowan herself. Bounty hunters continue to harry Robin Hood's daughter and her band of good-hearted outlaws, but the most prominent conflict here is internal: Rowan has discovered the identities of those who murdered her mother (a "forestwife" healer) two years ago. Overcome with "an inner darkening, a chill in her bones," the stricken teen sets out to exact vengeance. Rowan's friends suppress concern over their leader's uncharacteristically grim outlook and violent intent, lending support--both emotional and physical, as her injured legs seem to weaken inversely proportionate to her fury--and bearing witness as she feels her way back to her true purpose in life. Slender but deeply felt, and dense with detail that reflects and extends the richness of the interior landscapes traversed, this brings a favorite medieval adventure series to a brooding but graceful close.
