Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review IThe Secret Of Moonacre/I is a charming adaptation of Elizabeth Goudgersquo;s novel IThe Little White Horse/I. Starring IThe Golden Compassrsquo;/I Dakota Blue Richards, she plays young teenage orphan Maria Merryweather, who inherits a single book from her father. p That book, however, is the catalyst to what happens next in IThe Secret Of Moonacre/I, as the story bursts to life, throwing Maria into the middle of a feud between two families, the Merryweathers and the De Noirs. As she eventually makes her way through the book, Maria understands what she needs to do, and realises that the fate of Moonacre Valley could well be in her hands. p Co-starring Tim Curry, Ioan Gruffudd, Natascha McElhone and Juliet Stevenson, IThe Secret Of Moonacre/I does take a little time to warm up, with a tepid first act not the best of beginnings. But then the the steady hand of director Gabor Csupo--previously responsible for the underrated IBridge To Terabithia/I--kicks in, and things soon pick up. Csuporsquo;s movie boasts striking visuals and genuinely impressive production values, and while it doesnrsquo;t quite match his earlier film, it still emerges as solid family entertainment thatrsquo;s been well realised. Whatrsquo;s more, Dakota Blue Richards does her credentials no harm at all either, turning in another impressive performance that eases the film through its weaker moments. Recommended. ndash;-IJon Foster/I

Customer Reviews: Great adaptation September 12, 2009 Pam Pearce (Jersey) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I bought this as I remeber reading the book when I was at school. The film is a very good adaptation and the attention to detail is excellant. It inspired me to read the book again!
