Dan in Green Gables: A Graphic Novel A Modern Reimagining of Anne of Green Gables

In this radiant graphic novel reimagining of Anne of Green Gables, award-winning author Rey Terciero and Eisner Award nominee Claudia Aguirre bring us Dan Stewart-Álvarez—a fifteen-year-old effervescent extrovert who discovers that home isn’t always where you expect to find it.

After a lifetime on the road with his free-spirited mother, Dan dreams of putting down roots. But when she leaves him with his grandparents in rural Tennessee, he faces challenges he never imagined: learning to work the farm, navigating a new high school, and most difficult of all—coming to terms with his queerness in a conservative Southern Baptist community.

As Dan grows closer to his gentle mawmaw, finds his people among fellow outsiders, and begins carving out space for himself at Green Gables, he must discover whether he can stay true to himself while adapting to a world that doesn’t always make room for difference. It’s a story about unconventional families, the courage it takes to be yourself, and the unexpected places where we sometimes find belonging.

Perfect for fans of graphic memoirs and contemporary LGBTQ+ stories, this modern retelling honors the spirit of L.M. Montgomery’s beloved classic while speaking directly to today’s readers. Aguirre’s stunning illustrations bring Dan’s journey to vivid life—capturing both the loneliness of feeling different and the joy of finally being seen.

A powerful story for anyone who’s ever searched for home, both in a place and within themselves.
