Devastating … Any reader with a heart will weep buckets
*Sunday Times, Book of the Week*
Mistrust, forgiveness and the premeditated stripping away of a
future, distorting many other lives in unfathomable ways, are
communicated through Crossan’s spare, expressive free verse, with
understated, heart-breaking clarity
*Guardian*
Impossible to put down – its agonising and informative plot, along
with the poetry of the writing, makes for a powerful story that
should appeal to anyone over 13 with a heart and a love for
storytelling … Deep, light, witty and authentic
*The Times*
An outstanding and daring achievement … Bravely tackles the issue
of capital punishment, putting an all too human face on the
protagonists
*Irish Examiner*
Brilliant … An affecting story about the power of sibling love …
One of the most important writers of YA fiction around
*Times Educational Supplement*
Powerful
*Irish Times*
One of the most thought-provoking, tender stories of the year
*IMAGE*
Spare and sad and angry, but Moonrise is also laced with nuggets of
happiness thanks to how beautifully the brothers’ relationship is
built. This is an important, and strangely lovely, read
*Sunday Post*
