What They're Saying
Critics Review
The Forest of Moon and Sword is a sumptuously imagined children’s debut by Amy Raphael, which follows the plight of a 12-year-old girl in 17th-century Scotland, whose mother is accused of witchcraft. – Emily Bearn * The Daily Telegraph *
There are emotional issues - loss, grief, betrayal, friendship - that help the story sing across the historical divide.
* Irish Times *The Forest of Moon and Sword (Orion, £7.99) is a fast-paced and single-minded adventure, featuring plant lore as well as a cast of unexpected allies, human and animal; female bravery is a given. – Kitty Empire * The Guardian *
