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 Curatos 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, andabove alllove. 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 Dans vibrant personality. Satisfying thematic parallels and a spirited, vulnerable carrot-topped protagonist will satisfy fans of the original, which is refreshingly remixed by Tercieros joyfully queer spin. An effervescent search for belonging and a heartfelt ode to a beloved classic." Kirkus Reviews
