"A fun mix of comics, video games, tabletop games, adventure cartoons, and more, that all combine to make something very new yet also familiar."

– Mike Towry, Co-founder of San Diego Comic-Con and Founder of San Diego Comic Fest

"The best example of what happens when you bridge the theater of the mind with literature. I am so excited for the impact that these books will have in the future of education. In my mind the limits are endless.”

– Ray Porter, WB Discovery

The DLOD book has ignited a passion for literacy in some of our most disengaged students. Gabe's creative style of writing in a text based format along with the engaging plot eliminates barriers of accessibility to engage young readers to see themselves as readers. The implementation of this graphic novel into our afterschool programs in San Diego Unified School district has sparked a love for reading in our students. In addition, Gabe has incorporated various components of Visual and Perfoming Arts (VAPA) through the companion curriculum, videos, and songs. I strongly recommend this book and curriculum to students in 3rd-7th grade.
