The Band of Merry Kids is a rollicking middle-grade adventure set in the mythical Age of Robin Hood.
Pip is a 12-year-old boy who idolizes Robin Hood and bristles at the injustice he sees around him. He also considers his father a coward - a mere wool merchant who pales in comparison to Robin and his Merry Men. Pip and his two cousins accompany Pip's father to a country fair. Pip makes some new friends - and fights some difficult battles - and it is here with his cousins and friends that he must face the greatest challenge of his life - saving an innocent family from the Sheriff's dungeon. Along the way, Pip also learns a shocking secret about his father.
The Robin Hood legend provides the over-arching morality for The Band of Merry Kids, which explores classic topics such as good vs. evil, father-son relationships, loyalty, friendship and bravery in a great historical adventure.
Genre: Children's Fiction
