I just want to take a moment to tell how much I have enjoyed working with you on our recent interactive media scripts. The resulting animations are very clever and fun.... I also know that the production artists like the strong writing and that it has spurred their creativity.

[The course was] very interesting and engaging. It was challenging even to someone who teaches the subject matter. You can't fake your way through it.

Cathy's scripts are the best that I've ever worked from. They're clear, well organized, and easy to interpret. They're clever and funny and a joy to read.

Cathy has the unique ability to turn the ho-hum into the ha-ha!

We deal in pretty dry prose most of the time, and it's nice to see that someone cares enough to interject a human touch.

[The course] kept my attention by keeping me involved in the scenario.

Excellent presentation.... Took a complex process and communicated it in a very simple manner.

Reviews of The Daring Escape of Ellen Craft (Lerner, 2002):

This account of a real event employs a suspenseful text that will keep readers engaged to the very end.... A great nonfiction choice for newly independent readers.
   School Library Journal, April 2002

Though this series is written for new readers, Moore manages to include some difficult and important angles to the adventure. She allows the young reader to see clearly the differences between the way William has to live as he travels as a slave and how Ellen, posing as a white man, lives.... Young readers will be inspired by this tale of personal courage in the face of prejudice.
   Kirkus Reviews, February 2002
