Summary:

Mable, Dipper, and the rest of the cast have had a memorable summer – to say the least! While their adventures filled up two seasons (plus several shorts), that's not all there is to learn about this one summer.

As it turns out, there are at least four adventures that never made it to the screen, and it's time to dive in and learn all about them.

Review:

Full disclosure: I only recently sat down to watch Gravity Falls. I fell instantly in love and ended up watching both seasons (plus the shorts) in a span of only two weeks. Since I'm going through that series-withdrawal phase, I figured now was the perfect time to read the books!

Gravity Falls: Lost Legends collects four "lost" adventures. These adventures are canon, as they're written by Alex Hirsch. Other than Journal 3 and the incoming Bill book, I'm not certain that the rest are considered canon (though I'm sure they're fun).

The best part about these stories? I feel like they actually did a good job covering several bases, including talking about secondary characters and plot points. We have a Pacifica-centric plot, a comic/manga-style one (thanks to Stan's grumpiness), a dimensional tale full of Mable puns, and a story set in Stan and Ford's past. Like I said, it's a pretty great balance of stories.

If you're a Gravity Falls fan ,and you haven't read Gravity Falls: Lost Legends, please consider rectifying that. It's worth it, I promise!
