"A dramatic story, and Seagraves sets it up effectively . . . a useful introduction to the devastating truth that an unintended and momentary mistake can change lives forever."

"Depicts a realistic portrayal of grief from a youth's perspective . . . Boys will take interest in Daniel's internal superhero-vs.-villain battle."
Kirkus Reviews

"Understanding or coping with an accidental death is seldom so directly connected to real responsibility or the need to make peace with such a mistake. Seagraves shows the best way for support to be given as well as how hard it is to forgive."
School Library Journal

"The dynamics of the Sartain family are well-developed and genuine as a result of Daniel's authentic first-person narration. Seagraves' debut should leave readers weighing death, guilt and forgiveness."

"This is a story that will remain in your head and heart, after you turn the last page . . . It will leave the reader with a deeper understanding of life's painful moments and how a person summons the wisdom to handle them."

"It's unfortunate that the counselor crafted by author Seagraves for this novel isn't available to every young person suffering from an emotional trauma. Mrs. Hardy offers Daniel the right amount of comfort and understanding to help him reach out for healing . . . Good stuff here."
Joan Broerman

"This is Donny Bailey Seagraves' first published book and after you read it, you're going to read everything she publishes . . . Ms. Seagraves captures rural Georgia to a tee and you'd think she actually was an eleven-year-old boy, the way she describes him and expresses his emotions."

"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

"Donny does a masterful job of creating characters, especially young Daniel Sartain and his grieving family . . . To have written a book of such moral weight and complexity . . . is a magnificent achievement."

"In the space of the first two pages, I found myself completely caught up in deliberating, as I imagined Daniel was, about hunting and Clay and Dad and living beings . . . I wanted only to read and read."

"While the intended audience is middle-grade students, the book's authentic Southern voice an richly detailed characters offers universal appeal."
Mary Jane Hammes

"How refreshing to find a novel that young people can read that doesn't contain wizards or fantastical creatures who may or may not help kids learn to successfully navigate our complex modern world."

"When I was in elementary school, I read your book, Gone From These Woods, and it has stuck with me. It was my first favorite book and I still think about it to this day, and I'm now 22. Thank you so much for writing such an amazing book that has stuck with me all these years."
