Critics Review
Praise for No Moon”… Watts has written another great book of historical fiction. While the topic of death is very much a part of the story, she handles it in such a manger that it is not a morbid story, but one of hope and overcoming fear.” - Resource Links ”…Watts provides a fascinating account of what the great unsinkable ship was like. The catastrophe is rendered in a heartbreakingly graceful style, and Lou performs heroically in shepherding her two little girls to safety on a lifeboat in this uniquely engaging and satisfying coming-of-age historical adventure tale.” - Starred Review, Booklist
