As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

Scarlet by Stephen Lawhead
This is a great series that is the retelling of English history and the legend of Robin Hood as we now know it. Great details. It's a saga. There are good guys and bad guys. It's a layered story and not for the reluctant reader. If you enjoy Game of Thrones and the Star Wars saga then this is the story for you. I would say it's for serious readers who can handle layers. I enjoy it but thinking about my high school students, I would say just a small percentage of population would be in to the book. I would say it would fit better with readers who enjoy history and historical fiction. It's perfect for public libraries. Enjoy.
