afterward his soldiers cannot find her. A poacher alerts
authorities and Persimmon is arrested and sentenced to be beheaded.

A chilling tale from storyteller Ethan Crownberry. What gives you
the willies? Strange noises? Creepy shadows? The feeling you are
being watched? For a 12-year-old boy lost on Halloween night, it is
all of these things and more. Join him on his adventure home as he
encounters one hair-raising experience after another. Then, decide
for yourself. Are the Willies just something we feel? Or are they
actually little monsters that love to torment us when we are at our
most vulnerable? Ethan Crownberry has done it again in this
spine-tingling masterpiece.
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.
Ethan Crownberry's most epic adventure. Look Up in the sky It's a
bird It's a plane It's a toddler with a high-velocity rocket

magnificent power. And quickly he finds himself torn between
fulfilling his heart's desire and helping people in need. Join
Ethan Crownberry in an adventure beyond imagination, and meet, for
the first time, the world's newest and most unlikely hero.
