Media Reviews
'A hymn to nature, written with compassion and flair.' * Lauren St John, author of The White Giraffe *
"Just the sort of book I would have loved to have picked up as a child. I love the way Tom weaves in the natural history of the riverbank with a fast paced adventure." * Gill Lewis, author of Sky Hawk *
"With echoes of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and Watership Down this is a wonderful story with a classic, traditional feel . . . An utterly lovely book and highly recommended." * The Bookbag *
"This book became one of my favourites. I was worried what Sylvan, his brothers and sisters would do next! There was a lot of danger in their long journey. I couldn't wait to turn over the next page because I was full of excitement." * Momo, age 8 *
"The book was amazing - it was the best book that I have ever read. I felt like I was in the book. My eyes would just not stop reading. I will recommend it to lots of people." * Lulu, age 9 *
"The River Singers was so gripping that it was nearly impossible to put down. Five stars from me." * By Kids for kids review, the Guardian online *
"A lyrical, emotion-packed story... stunning debut novel." * Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post *
"One of the most original and beautiful stories." * Teach Primary *
"A modern alternative to Wind in the Willows, this is the story of a family of water voles and the adventures that they have on their journey along the Great River." * Books for Topics *

Author's Bio
Tom Moorhouse lives in Oxford. When not writing fiction he works as an ecologist at Oxford University's Zoology Department. Over the years he has met quite a lot of wildlife. Most of it tried to bite him. He loves hiking up mountains, walking through woods, climbing on rocks, and generally being weather-beaten outdoors. The River Singers is his first novel.
