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."

– Booklist (On the children's middle-grade novel Gone From These Woods by Donny Bailey Seagraves.)

"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!

– Lilly Rose Shadowlyn, Library Thing (On the children's middle-grade novel Bee Battle, Spelling, Spiders and the Secrets of Like by Donny Bailey Seagraves.)

"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."

– Jude Cowell, Blogger (On the cookbook/family history book Cooking with Annie D: Southern Recipes Seasoned by Seagraves and Pettyjohn Family History by Donny Bailey Seagraves.)
