Critics Review

‘Such clever, courageous storytelling. I adored it’ Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse

‘A glorious, shining adventure story with nature and wildness at its heart’ Pari Thomson, author of Greenwild

‘Hannah Gold writes hope and heartbreak and healing with astonishing perfection. Not only will it make readers want to fight bravely for a better world, but it encourages them to be kinder to themselves, too. Turtle Moon is, without a doubt, her best yet’ Annabel Steadman, author of the Skandar series

‘Beautiful, hopeful and heart-expanding. I love this book so much’ Rashmi Sirdeshpande, author of How to Change the World

‘I can see why so many children are falling in love with Hannah Gold’s stories. Turtle Moon is gorgeous … full of heart and hope’ Abi Elphinstone, author of Ember Spark

‘Gold is one of the best writers around when it comes to eco-adventure and Turtle Moon, which culminates in a breathtakingly exciting rescue mission, is just as good (if not better than) her Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-Winning The Last Bear The Bookseller, Editor’s Choice

‘A gorgeous family story with huge emotional power and an utterly heart-stopping eco-adventure. Gold has done it again – this book is another enchanting must-read.’ Aisling Fowler, author of the Fireborn series
