About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins noticing social inequalities or questioning why some people have so much while others struggle. It is an ideal choice for a child who is developing a strong internal compass for fairness and needs to see that standing up for the underdog is a noble pursuit. This classic collection of ten adventures follows Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men as they outwit the greedy and help the poor in Sherwood Forest. The stories emphasize loyalty, teamwork, and the courage to challenge unjust authority. While it is an adventure-filled chapter book, it serves a deeper emotional purpose by modeling how empathy can be turned into action. Ann McGovern's prose is accessible for the 8 to 12 age range, making it a perfect bridge between simple folk tales and more complex historical fiction. It offers a safe space to discuss the ethics of right and wrong when the rules themselves feel unfair.
