Trade ReviewA warm-hearted adventure of ghosts, pirates and the quiet power of friendship and kindness. A wonderful new middle grade voice championing those who see things a little differently. * Sarah Baker *
A rip-roaring, soul-stirring adventure, The Mooncatcher's Rescue simply brims with magic. Utterly enchanting! * Katharine Orton *
A fun book about friendship, kindness, ghosts, pirates and monsters I liked that although the adventure was the central storyline to this book, there was a wonderful story of friendship. How even a new friendship can be deep and meaningful, and that helping someone can be the kindest thing you can do. -- Erica * NetGalley *
Absolutely full of heart, this magical, sometimes funny adventure is superbly imagined and shows that sometimes friendship can be found in the most unlikely places. Lia Visirin’s splendid black and white illustrations add an additional sprinkling of enchantment to the telling. * Red Reading Hub *
as the fantastical plot races along, children will be swept along in its wake. * Just Imagine *
