Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen
3.0

We've all heard the stories about Robin Hood and his merry men, robbing the rich to feed the poor while living it up in Sherwood Forest.
Scarlet is from the point of view of Wil Scarlet; thief, sneak, liar, and one of the core members of Robin Hoods gang. Wil carries a secret that only the closest to him know- he is a she.
Scarlet (as all the boys call her) has a history she won't share with anyone, even Robin (who causes her to feel all sorts of things she wishes she didn't). Meanwhile, she is fending off the attentions of Little John, and trying to stay one step ahead of the thief-taker, Guy of Gisborne.
This take on the old tales is a twist, but I really saw the answers to all the "mysteries" within the first 2 chapters. A good, fast read for teens, but nothing world-shattering.
