  1. Yash Kumar

    Dowell’s prose is beautiful, and Jamie’s story is heartbreaking. However, the plot sometimes meanders. I wish that there was little bit more.

    Shooting the Moon is a powerful exploration of war’s impact on a young girl. A moving and thought-provoking novel that will stay with you.

  3. Devanshu Singh Negi

    An important story, especially for young readers. It can be a bit heavy at times, but definitely worth reading for its historical perspective.

  4. Anubhav Sharma

    This book had many heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. Very well written and great for young readers.

  5. Esha Kumari

    Shooting the Moon is a poignant look at the Vietnam War’s impact on families. Jamie’s journey is compelling, though I found some parts a bit slow-paced. Overall, a worthwhile read.

    This book is well-written and thought-provoking. A touching story about family, loss, and the true cost of war.

  7. Satish Kannojia

    A beautifully written story about a difficult time. I appreciated the author’s sensitivity, but the ending felt somewhat unresolved. I want more.

  8. Bhevendra

    I was deeply moved by Jamie’s experiences. The book is very realistic. A must-read for anyone interested in the Vietnam War era.

  9. Prerna Monica Tete

    This book offers a unique perspective. While the writing is strong, I struggled to connect with all the characters. Worth exploring, but proceed cautiously.
