Teen Book Group: Scarlet
Thursday, July 19 at 7:00
Read the book and MEET THE AUTHOR! A. C. Gaughen will be here for our discussion group! She'll answer our questions and tell us about her experiences writing this amazing adventure. Join us for a very unique opportunity to meet an author and ask all your questions!
About Scarlet: Many readers know the tale of Robin Hood, but they will be swept away by this new version full of action, secrets, and romance. Posing as one of Robin Hood's thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in. It's only her fierce loyalty to Robin-whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her-that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for.
You can pick up a copy of the book in the children's department (and let us know you're planning to attend) anytime!
