Review
An Amazon Best Children’s Book of the Month, October 2013: In this utterly charming adventure, orphaned siblings Bob and his younger sister Marie Claire, a.k.a. the Rat, leave their Winnipeg home for the streets of New York City in search of their long-lost uncle. From homeless men and hustlers to a big-time rapper, the characters we meet in Unhooking the Moon all have one thing in common--adoration of the fearless Rat. And after only a few chapters it becomes obvious why--the Rat has unwavering trust in her instincts about people, and her faith in their goodness brings it to bear, even in the most unlikely circumstances. Brother Bob is her hapless follower and protector and the unbreakable bond between them is one of the greatest pleasures of the book. Even the most improbable events seem plausible in this story and the reader can’t help but root for these kids to find their uncle and rebuild their family.--Seira Wilson
About the Author
Gregory Hughes was born in Liverpool, the eighth child in a family of nine. He was expelled from school and then sent to a home for wayward boys, where he spent some happy times among a cast of larger-than-life characters. After a few years in and out of trouble with the law, he went to university, and since then has travelled the world working as everything from a high-rise window cleaner to a deep-sea diver. He has made his home in many countries around the world, including Canada and the US, but is now back in Liverpool.
