Bought for a nephews birthday, had a quick read. Not really for me as a 32 year old woman but my nephew will love it. We live in Nottingham so he'll love it even more being about our local hero!

This book is amazing! I felt that when I read this book it made me want to read more. I could never put it down. It felt like I was actually one of the characters. You describe the characters really well and when Robin hurts his ankle, he is determined to carry on, just like I was with the book. My imagination was screaming. You are a fabulous author and I recommend any of your books to anyone of any age.
