Media Reviews

Praise for 'Moon Eyes'
'Josephine Poole ... is expert at building up tension from small details and creating menace ... This sensitivity to the characters' own uncertainties enhances the mysteries ... but it is also what gives the books an atmosphere which is remembered long after the plot is forgotten.' - Twentieth Century Children's Writers
'sinister power is compellingly conveyed.' - The Guardian
'There is a real study of the nature of good and evil underlying the story ... a good book as well as a most unusual one.' - TLS
