Robin of Sherwood - The Hooded Man

Richard Carpenter and Anthony Horowitz
(Puffin Books)
160pp, 978-0140320589, RRP £2.50, Mass Market Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "Robin of Sherwood: Hooded Man (Puffin Story Books)" on Amazon

Local hero Robin is dead, the outlaws scattered and Marion abducted by a madcap ally of King John- but daring adventure, mystical magic and heroism still lurk behind the next oak tree or castle fortification especially when a hooded man takes on the mantle of our erstwhile outlaw chief, becoming himself Robin i'the Hood, son of Herne the Hunter god, enemy of the scheming Sheriff. This is an imaginative, exciting, well-crafted re-write of the TV scripts and follows two other titles, also in Puffin. I could see it spanning both lower and middle secondary, enjoying the readership of both sexes.
