In this modern reimagining of Anne of Green Gables, effervescent
extrovert Dan Stewart-Álvarez is surprised to find home and community
in rural Tennessee.
Despite a life on the road with his free-spirited mother,
fifteen-year-old Dan Stewart-Álvarez has always wanted to settle down.
He just didn’t think it’d be like this: with his mother abandoning him
in rural Tennessee with two strangers—his gentle grandmother and
conservative, rough-around-the-edges grandfather. Here, he is forced to
adjust to working the farm, entering high school, and hardest
yet—reckoning with his queerness in a severe Southern Baptist community.
But even as Dan grows closer to his mawmaw, befriends fellow outsiders
at school, and tries to make a new life for himself in Green Gables, he
has to discover whether he can contend with intolerance and adapt to
change without losing himself in the process.
From award-winning author Rey Terciero and Eisner Award nominee and
illustrator Claudia Aguirre comes a new retelling of Anne of Green
Gables about unconventional families, queer identity, and finding the
meaning of home in the most unlikely of places.

stories of dragons she heard when she was a young girl might
actually be real - especially when the egg hatches overnight. The
dragon has immense powers that Grace has yet to understand. And
that puts them both in danger from mysterious forces intent on
abusing the dragon's power. And now it's up to Grace and her school
friends to uncover the sinister plot threatening the entire city!
An epic dragon fantasy series for 8+ readers! Beautifully
illustrated throughout Perfect for fans of Wings of Fire
