'Witty and wonderfully illustrated […] It’s delightful for two reasons: Eggers’s wry narration and the mischievous illustration by Júlia Sardà.' The Times
'Let’s face it: the true story of a pig-farming widow, who decides to roll her entire timber-frame house a few miles down the road in pioneer-era Idaho, is a completely bonkers subject for a children’s book. It works brilliantly, thanks to the mischief of Dave Eggers’ commentary and the maverick artwork by Júlia Sardà. Fantastic.”' Children’s books of the year 2023, The Sunday Times
'Fascinating in the extreme, and told with such wit, humour and flair, this is a wonderful work of non-fiction which will engage young and older readers alike! […] A stunner of a book.' Mini Travellers Blog
'Slightly bizarre, this would make an entertaining read aloud.' Red Reading Hub
'This delightfully quirky but true tale unveils a fascinating chapter of history with a touch of humour and resourcefulness […] Eggers’ witty narrative, lots of tongue-in-cheek repeating lines, and narrative intrusion to make us smile and lighten the tone, alongside Sardà’s masterful illustrations make this book a gem for readers of all ages. Children and adults alike will be charmed by the resourceful protagonist, Annie Miller, and her daring plan to save her beloved home. Moving the Millers’ Minnie Moore Mine Mansion is a heartwarming and entertaining read that leaves a lasting impression.' Books for Keeps

'I found it interesting because I have always liked books set in olden times. I liked the dog because they found so much silver but I didn’t dislike any character. The illustrations drew me to the book and I would recommend it to others. There was nothing I disliked.' Young Quills reviews 2024, History.org.uk
