My boys and I were part of a virtual author visit with Maria Parr (author of Adventures with Waffles & Astrid the Unstoppable) through Read Aloud Revival. Ms. Parr recommended this book.
Ronia's father, Matt, is a robber who lives in a mountain with his band of thieves. Ronia roams the woods freely not being afraid of anything. When she meets Birk, her life is forever changed. He is her first (and only) friend. Birk's father, however, is Matt's revival and archenemy. Can any situation or any person bring friendship between the two robber bands?
Entertaining and humorous. I love the idea of kids roaming the forest from sunrise to sunset, free and imaginative!
Points to discuss/warnings: a few swear words, the main characters' living is stealing/robbing the innocent, scary magical folks,fighting/violence, an older, endearing thief dies at the end
-Borrowed from the library.
