Note: I received an ARC from the publisher.

Heard as an audiobook, with varied voices for the characters which made entertaining listening.
I think this would be greatly enjoyed by teen and pre-teen female readers since the hero is a young heroine. The younger Laurel was a good foil for the teenage Robin.
As an adult reader, I enjoyed the spin-off of the Robin Hood tale but thought the Sheriff was pretty one-dimensional and that the adventures were more wish-fulfillment than truly age appropriate. Not necessarily a bad thing for young teens to read, just not satisfying for myself.

Some interesting changes from the original story, but I'm not totally sold on the whole "moon lore" making Robyn "the chosen one" plotline. ( )

"Magoon cleverly weaves elements of the Robin Hood tale into this futuristic story about social justice, friendship, and identity. The wily kid heroes and thrilling adventures will appeal to young readers." ―Horn Book Magazine

A great book appropriate for middle grade readers and older. I'm looking forward to reading the next one. ( )
