- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rook is a wild boy. Living hand to mouth in the forest, he tries not to feel. To feel the pain of watching his father die a slow death. To feel friendship for Rowan Hood, crippled from the trap that killed his father. To be human. When he finds the son of his father's murderer in the same kind of trap, he almost leaves him to die. But remembering his father's kindness and goodness, he can't leave the boy to die. Rook's journey back to himself is fraught with confusion and danger, set in Sherwood Forest amidst the legend of Robin Hood. Springer is adept at exploring the emotions of youth. Rowan, Lionel, and Beau use their unique personalities - empathy, steadfastness and humor, respectively - to draw Rook out and include him in their circle of friends. Wild Boy expands and stays true to the legend, while offering young readers insights into their own emotional and relational development.
