Elissa Haden Guest

"…this remarkable novel is unforgettable. Compassionate, warm, tender, it tugs at the heart but never manipulates, perhaps because it has something to say about the human condition – and says it beautifully."
The Horn Book

"A sensitive probing of rivalries and bonds that focuses on a younger sister who cannot find her own strengths until she pierces the larger – than - life image of her elder sister…A vibrant novel… with a pleasing romantic tangent."
Booklist

"What especially endears OVER THE MOON to me is its amazing and lovely innocence. There is a fresh bloom to it that is unusual and delightful..."
Madeleine L'Engle

"Elissa Haden Guest creates such real people that you feel you could run into them tomorrow morning downtown. You feel their anguish, share their good times."
