Praise
"There is a lot of complexity in this coming-of-age novel. Sensitive younger readers will be drawn in by Daniel's story, which can be likened to a more emotional twin of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet."
"I absolutely adored this from start to finish. . . The story is full of rivalry, friendship, typical tween worries that kids will be able to relate to, and school cliques. Although there is a rivalry between Josh and Emily, neither really crosses any hard lines into hard bullying, although Josh was definitely trying to tease Emily when they first met. I loved how Emily handled that first meeting, and it wasn't how I expected it to go, and really set the tone for the rest of the book, which was light-hearted and fun. Overall, a fun read for younger middle-grade readers!
"Anyone interested in classic Southern recipes or who researches their own family roots in early Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and beyond will find 'Cooking With Annie D' a useful collection of food, history, and memories of good times, particularly in the areas of Clarke, Madison, Oglethorpe . . . counties."
