Parents need to know that Ronia, the Robber's Daughter, first published in 1981, is a fantasy by Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking) featuring a free-thinking, self-reliant girl being raised in a band of thieves. The warmhearted men in the clan are loyal and very fond of Ronia. They drink and get rowdy, and the chief in particular is prone to yelling and throwing objects when he's angry or upset. Ronia and her friend Birk do not approve of thieving but love their families unconditionally. There are some scenes of intense, fantastical dangers, including attacks by clawing harpies and menacing dwarves and gnomes. The rivalry between robber clans -- and disagreements within each family -- is full of angry threats and promises of violence. Two men face off in a violent fight for supremacy, ending with mutual respect and friendship. Characters deal with starvation, freezing, and the risk of execution. One character dies peacefully. The book makes a great read-aloud. It was also adapted by Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away) for an animated series with a slightly different title, Ronja, the Robber's Daughter, which premiered in early 2017.

The following winter is long and cold and although Matt's robbers are well fed, their counterparts are suffering on the other side of the chasm. Ronia brings food to Birk through a secret passageway. They get very close but both know that they cannot tell their families. Later that year, Birk is captured by Ronia's father. Ronia gives herself to the Borkas so she must be exchanged, but as a result, her father disowns her and refuses to acknowledge her as his daughter. Birk and Ronia run away to the woods, where they live in a cave and experience several harrowing adventures with the wood's indigenous wildlife, including trolls, forest gnomes, and harpies. Ultimately their families repent of their feuding, and everyone is reunited, but the story concludes with both Ronia and Birk deciding that the robber's life is not for them. 350c69d7ab
