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.
