Description:

A modern twist on Robin Hood, where every main player is a teenager. Long ago in Nottingham County, ruthless and greedy Baron Alwine ordered the destruction of the Huntingtons' castle, leaving Robin and his cousins - Will, Winifred, and Barbara - to miraculously escape the fire. The young foursome sought refuge in Sherwood Forest, where the wise Friar Tuck taught them how to survive. But they soon discovered a fearless group of young bandits, led by Little John, who initially fought them over a captured noblewoman named Marian. Despite their differences, Robin and his new allies made peace and realized how they had all suffered at Alwine's hands. Together, they vowed to help one another. Alwine had already driven Little John's gang into the woods and now he had his sights set on Marian. He had his accomplice, Bishop Herfort, adopt her to inherit the Lancaster family's wealth. Robin and his friends knew they had to fight back against the Baron's troops, led by the fearsome knight, Gilbert. When Winifred and Marian were captured and held in the castle dungeon, our heroes risked everything to save them. Robin proved himself a true hero, always ready to take on another dangerous mission with his magical bow at his side. His bravery earned him the love and respect of the people, especially the beautiful Marian.
