A People.com Recommended Read for Pride "Animated, intricately detailed artwork by Aguirre ( Lifetime Passes ) has a watercolor feel that evokes a nostalgic 1990s ambiance. Utilizing a bustling, distinctly limned cast anchored by a protagonist whose personality leaps off the page, Terciero ( Northranger ) explores religion, generational trauma, acceptance, and self-worth with grace." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "The art style is detailed, especially in capturing the 1990s Tennessee setting, while still maintaining an appealing bright, bold look. VERDICT: a must purchase, especially for fans of Mike Curato's Flamer or those who enjoy the works of Ivy Noelle Weir and Kathleen Gros." -- School Library Journal , starred review "An energetic and enchanting YA graphic novel [that] embodies the spirit of L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables while giving it a shiny new take that compassionately incorporates chaotic family dynamics, friendship, queer identity, religion, bullying, and--above all--love.
Dan in Green Gables stands alone as an uplifting and gratifying graphic novel, relatable to any reader who believes, like Dan, that 'happiness is a revolution.'" -- Shelf Awareness, starred review "The dreamy, whimsical illustrations are steeped in the sweet, slow feeling of a humid East Tennessee afternoon. Pops of saturated color flood the background of some panels, highlighting emotional moments and mirroring Dan's vibrant personality. Satisfying thematic parallels and a spirited, vulnerable carrot-topped protagonist will satisfy fans of the original, which is refreshingly remixed by Terciero's joyfully queer spin. An effervescent search for belonging and a heartfelt ode to a beloved classic." -- Kirkus Reviews.
