Books with author Robert J. Harris

When everyone in his Scottish village is violently evicted from their land by the laird, Roddy Macallan knows he must find a way to fight back. As his family escapes, making their way through the Scottish Highlands bound for Glasgow, Roddy sneaks home in search of a treasure his mother once told him was hidden there. But the search becomes more than that when Roddy teams up with a Robin Hood–like rogue who roams the Highlands just ahead of the unscrupulous laird. A powerful and resounding adventure in the best tradition of Yolen and Harris.

When Robert the Bruce becomes King of Scotland, his daughter, Marjorie, becomes a princess. Unfortunately, her father's claim to the throne makes Bruce and his family - including Marjorie - targets of the ruthless Edward Longshanks, King of England. And then it happens: the new princess is captured and imprisoned in a wooden cage in the center of a town square, displayed like an animal in a zoo. She suffers from exposure to wind, rain, rude taunts, hurled garbage - the scorn of Longshanks himself! Marjorie is a proud young Scot and proud of her father. She will do whatever she must to defend her heritage and stand up to Longshanks' pitiless humiliations. After all, a princess is a princess, whether in a castle - or in a cage.

When Scotland calls on all its able-bodied clans to join Prince Charlie in the march against England's tyranny, young Duncan McDonald is as ready as anyone to fight. He's grown up on Granda's stories of glory in battle, and his heart is stirred by what he knows of the young prince. But when he and his cousin Ewan run away to join the great battle at Culloden, they find themselves caught in a nightmare: not the glorious field of heroes they expected. As much as he loves his country and his prince, Duncan has to ask himself: Can anything good really come of Culloden? Following their much-acclaimed The Queen's Own Fool and Girl in a Cage, Jane Yolen and Robert J. Harris have crafted their most chilling and affecting story yet.
