From School Library Journal Grade 6 Up An intense and elegantly written historical adventure-romance set in "a distant time and far-off place." Gwyn， the high-spirited daughter of the innkeeper， finds a disguise she believes to be that of the legendary Jackaroo， a figure whose actions resemble those of Robin Hood. Gwyn decides to use Jackaroo's disguise to help those less fortunate than she. But readers soon learn that there are several other individuals who masquerade as Jackaroo， each for his own selfish or unselfish reasons. Jackaroo will stimulate the imagination and make readers marvel at Voigt's creative genius. She presents a carefully designed， mystery-filled plot which once again illustrates her abilities as a master storyteller. Characters are somewhat reluctant to reveal themselvesbut this is a most appropriate style for a tale of dangerous and uncertain times. Jackaroo will cause readers to pause and consider the process of legend making and the changes that take place in the retellings of legendary deeds. Karen P. Smith， Yonkers Board of Education， N.Y.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. See all Editorial Reviews
