Action! Humor! Fantasy! This new series opener is a tour de force from international bestseller Jonathan Stroud.
Scarlett McCain is an outlaw, a bank robber and a sharp shooter--a girl of
formidable skills. Fueled by a tragic injustice in her past, she travels the
broken kingdoms of England alone, carrying out daring heists in the surviving
towns and fending off monstrous beasts in the wilds outside their fortified
walls. Her life is dangerous, free, and simple--until she finds a wrecked bus
on a lonely road. Albert Browne, the sole survivor of the accident, is a
seemingly innocent and harmless youth. Against her better judgement, Scarlett
agrees to escort him to safety.
This is a mistake. They are soon pursued by men with dogs and guns and
explosives. Scarlett is used to running from the law, but these trackers are
the most skilled she's ever encountered--and they don't seem to be after her.
Just who is this Albert Browne Scarlett must uncover his shocking secrets if
either of them are going to survive.
Praise For THE
OUTLAWS SCARLETT AND BROWNE:
“The vivid setting, rapid-fire dialogue, and
nonstop action will propel readers through this raucous, rousing rumble.” —Kirkus
Reviews, starred review
“Thrills and wisecrackery run neck and neck as Stroud establishes a sturdy cast of characters and lays the foundation of a post-apocalyptic . . . setting where adventure fantasy thrives. Add the razor-sharp banter that delights readers of the Bartimaeus series, and you can lay the smart money on another Stroud winner.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, starred review
“Fuelled by black
humour, this action-packed odyssey grips from the first page.” —The Daily
Mail
“Gunslinging action
and pitch-black humour meets post-apocalyptic thrill ride in this brilliant new
departure for the author of the Lockwood & Co. series.” —The Guardian
“Wanted: a sequel—as
fast as you can pull a pistol.” —The Times (London)
“Jonathan Stroud is an exceptional world-builder. A smart and audacious first volume of a new series.”—The Sunday Times
“It’s bold, funny and
original.” —The Week Junior
“Stroud’s talent for creating astonishing yet utterly believable literary worlds is well known—and this is another triumph. Starring a pair of charismatic anti-heroes, intensely cinematic action and laced with characteristically dry wit.” —The Bookseller
“Stroud’s writing is a
treat; brilliantly crafted world building, taut action scenes, fabulous
villains and witty dialogue. A wild ride indeed, and the first in a series.” —The
Observer (The New Review)
“This is bleedin’
brilliant from start to finish.” —SFX Magazine
“Stroud is a genius.” —Rick
Riordan, bestselling author of the Trials of Apollo
My Review:
The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne is the beginning of the series of the same name by Jonathan Stroud. I thought it was a fun and entertaining read. It was full of adventure, action and mystery. It was fast paced and easy to read. My twelve year old daughter, also, read this book and thought it was great. It is not easy to predict and kept us fascinated from start to finish.
I am giving The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who are between the ages of nine and thirteen years of age and enjoy reading fantasy reads. I look forward to reading the next installment from The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne series.
I received a hard cover copy of The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
