"A compelling reboot of the Robin Hood myth." —Rick Riordan, bestselling author of Percy Jackson & the Olympians on Shadows of Sherwood
"What makes Magoon’s book unique. . . Is its accessibility to school-age and intermediate readers. . . This exciting page-turner will undoubtedly be a hit." —School Library Journal, starred review
"This colorful adventure does not easily fit into a genre box, as it combines futuristic elements with fantasy and folklore. . . The adventure and cliffhanging ending will entice readers." —Kirkus Reviews
"Award-winning Magoon’s futuristic alternate-universe reboot of Robin Hood marks the first title in a promising new series. . . The episodic quests call to mind the Percy Jackson adventures and will inspire a new generation to connect with Robin Hood’s timeless tale." —Booklist
"Set in the future and paced with one death-defying escape after another, Magoon’s (How It Went Down) story doesn’t end so much as pause. Readers--and Robyn--must wait until at least the second book in the Robyn Hoodlum series to learn the fate of her parents." —Publishers Weekly
