Summary: Moonfleet Review
Review: I thought this book was thoroughly enjoyable, although in parts the language was difficult to understand, as the story was actually written in 1858. The story is about a fifteen year old orphan, (called John Trenchard,)who lives in the smuggler-infested town of Moonfleet. After a series of terrifying events, which keep the reader glued to the book for hours, he discovers a group of smugglers, who he had once trusted and considered as true friends. The story goes on to reveal the tale of hidden treasure, once owned by the murderous Blackbeard, (whose ghost is said to wander among the graves at night). This tantalising novel, filled wuth trust and betrayal is guaranteed to keep you occupied for hours on end, entranced by the cleverly put together plot. I would definitely recommend this book to older readers, though I would warn that the novel takes a while to really get started.

Summary: A Review of Moonfleet by Lucy Crabtree
Review: Moonfleet is a good book once you get into it, but it takes quite a long time to do that. The first 3 or 4 chapters are a little boring but once the story unfolds things start to get interesting. The book is set in the 1700s and is about an orphaned boy called John Trenchard who lives in the village of Moonfleet, which is full of smugglers, with his aunt. One day he finds a locket that once belonged to the legendary pirate Blackbeard, and his life becomes very different. If you want to find out what happens after that, you will have to read the book!
It has got some quite hard words in it, but I think that this book is quite suitable for children aged 10 and over and adults might enjoy it, too.

Summary: Moonfleet Review
Review: Moonfleet is a great book to read. It's an adventurous story told by John Trenchard,a man who lived many missions as a young boy. They story revolves around various issues such as the vault, secrets and a line of betrayal. The blatant use of description sets fascinting images and lets your mind flw into the amazing world of Moonfleet. I thought this book was amazingly written with description and complexed language.I would definitely recommend this book for those who especially digging their noses into adventure books.Witht the many things this book includes, no one will want to drop this book until the end.

Summary: moonfleet by Katy Stevens
Review: Moonfleet is a well written book once you get past the long- winded introduction. I'm sure this book would have been very popular during the 19th centuary, but as i am only 12 i found it very hard to understand some of the words, and personnally i do not enjoy reading a book with a dictionary near by at all times. When the book begins John trenchard (the main character)is 15 and lives with his aunt in the village of moonfleet, a village with many tales of smugglers and pirates, including the worst of them all - the legendary blackbeard. the story is about john and his adventures, all related to the treasure belonging to blackbeard. If you enjoy long hard words with a book that tells an ok tale then this book is for you but i really wouldn't recomend it to children.

Summary: Moonfleet review by reviewer Miriam Shah
Review: Moonfleet is an ace book. Even though chapters became monotonous, the storyline has that extra punch to it that would make you want to read it non-stop without taking your eyes off. The story backround is about our 15 year old hero John Trenchard who lives with his Aunt Jane because he was an orphan. The story is jam packed with bandits, smugglers and the beautiful young lady Grace Maskew, daughter of the miserly Magistrate Maskew. John has eyes for Grace and Blackbeards diamond which he vows to take. A fabulous book recommended for all.

Summary: A review for Moonfleet by Shantal Deepak
Review: Moonfleet is the story of 15 year old John Trenchard, who's an orphan who lives with his Aunt.
One night, curiosity gets the better of him, and he gets trapped in the vault of the Old Mohune family of Moonfleet, and he witnesses the trade of the sneaky, sly smugglers.
After this experience, his life is never the same again, and he finds himself leading a completely new life altogether.
I enjoyed reading Moonfleet, as I haven't read this style of text before. Once you start reading, the words engulf you, and you get caught up in the adventurous storyline.
I'm glad that Moonfleet hasn't got too much description, but just the right amount, so that you can understand the story.
Because of this we can at parts, feel the characters emotions.
I would recommend Moonfleet to anyone, whether you like tragedy or humour, this is definitely a worthwhile read!

Summary: Moonfleet
Review: Moonfleet was written by a man called John Tenchard and was written when he was 15 in 1857. It is a story about his childhood when he was an orphan and there are lots of adventures that happened to him. I thought Moonfleet was a good book although there was lots of description. I was sometimes left on the egde of my seat wondering what would happen next and I couldn't stop reading. I would recommend this book to people of any age.

Summary: Is there a better read-aloud? I think not.
Review: This book hung over me in memory for twenty years or more. It was read to us by my mother when i was 11 or 12; i remembered the story vaguely and the title wrongly. I had tried desultorily to find it over the years, unsuccessfully. Now, having reread it, aloud, to my children, i affirm that this is one of the finest children's adventure stories ever written. It out-treasures "Treasure Island" and any other of the same genre. The sad sacrifice at the end had all three of us in tears as i read it ~ i scarce could make out the words on the page. Elzevir Block is one of children's literature's finest heroes; a most honourable, strong, wise, loveable, faithful, and ~ despite some of his actions ~ good man. John Trenchard, the young protagonist, grows up, learns of life most awfully, and is rewarded with the love of a true woman ~ the daughter of his enemy, the book's first villain. I truly cannot over-recommend this book; it is hard to understand how it could be allowed to fall out of print, and why it is not more widely renowned and suggested by librarians, teachers, & parents.
