A great read!

Mosher is a brilliant storyteller. His characters are too real to be fictional! This ranks as one of my top ten favorites.
Wonderful!

This is a great,fun, touching book. I absolutley loved it, and so have all the people whom I've given copies to. I have read all of Mosher's books, and while they're all very good, this is his best. I look forward to re-reading it while I wait impatiently for more from this excellent author.
A delightful step back in time, a book to be read and shared

I picked this book up in the library entirely by chance. I was soon hooked on it. Gentle, fascinating, totally unpredictable, it was a step back into another place and time, full of the most interesting people . . . It is one of those books where the reader won't want to read the last chapter because then it will be over. I read several chapters to my children as individual stories, and they were enchanted. The entire book wove a spell over me.
A warm and wonderful read

Northern Borders is a trip to another time and another place, where a youngster deals with his eccentric relatives and the consequences of a family who have lived life on that land for generations. Without sentimentality, without hackneyed characterization, Mosher depicts a time and place so vividly you can't bear that the book must end. I read very widely and this is one of the best novels I've encountered in years. A quiet little gem
