Wild Boy : A Tale of Rowan Hood

Ever since the Sheriff of Nottingham killed his father, Rook has run wild as a wolf through Sherwood Forest, dreaming of vengeance. Now, he has come face-to-face with his chance. Not with the Sheriff himself, but with the evil man's son, snared by one of his own father's man-traps. Will Rook take the vengeance he craves, or will he remember he was not always a wild boy?Filled with clashes of sword and emotion, this page-turning new installment in Nancy Springer's Tales of Rowan Hood will leave readers eager to return to Sherwood, where survival is a daily battle.
