"Following in the tradition of Tamora Pierce's stories of feisty, kickass heroines and drawing on some factual underpinnings. Gaughen's tale will satisfy teen readers seeking action-packed romantic adventure set alluringly in another age. Fans of Scarlet will celebrate both this opportunity to revisit Gaughen's colorfully depicted long-ago world and her suspenseful ending to a lively story." -- Kirkus Reviews "A must-read series conclusion, sure to spark interest in the life and times of Richard the Lionhearted." -- School Library Journal "Scarlet is a worthy protagonist for adolescent female readers, and the love story between Robin and Marian adds starry-eyed entanglements to delight fans of that genre. The nonstop action that peppers the plot will entice male teens with a penchant for semihistorical fiction." -- VOYA "Debut novelist Gaughen does more than offer a rip-roaring tale, though it is that. The story, told in Scar's distinctive first-person voice, captivates and gets readers as deeply into the heart of a troubled girl .

has plenty for both the romantic and the adventure lover." -- Booklist on SCARLET "Plenty of swashbuckling adventure and a hearty dose of romance power this re-imagining of the legend of Robin Hood." -- School Library Journal on SCARLET.
