Rebellion of thieves: A Robyn Hoodlum adventure by Kekla Magoon
Bloomsbury, 2018. ISBN 9781681195346
"Robyn Loxley can't rest now that she's the #1 Most Wanted Fugitive,
Robyn Hoodlum. The harsh Nott City governor, Ignomus Crown, may have
increased the reward for her capture, but this won't stop Robyn from
masterminding her biggest mission yet: infiltrating the governor's
mansion to rescue her parents. The perfect opportunity arises when
the Iron Teen contest comes to Sherwood. If Robyn scores high
enough, she'll be invited to a dinner at the mansion. But performing
well also puts her directly in Crown's sights. Can she and her crew
of misfit friends pull off such a grand scheme?" Publisher.
This is certainly an interesting second book in the series following
Shadows of Sherwood. Magoon has very cleverly placed an
African American girl in a story set in the future or even possibly
another planet altogether. You do need to read the books in order. I
like the concept of a modern day Robin Hood and it will certainly
appeal to students who are interested in Science Fiction. There were
some interesting parts to the plot and the characters we met in Shadows
of Sherwood continued to develop.
Magoon has converted the legend into a futuristic version where
Robyn meets technology that I dare say has not even been invented
yet.
