Dani's debut graphic novel, MY SISTER THE FREAK, published by Harper Alley released in April, 2026!
"Action packed panels by Jones making a solo debut, burst with dynamic onomatopoeia and propulsive, fast-paced plotting that alternates heartening character moments with madcap alien antics, food fights, and superpowered battles." - Publishers Weekly on My Sister The Freak (Harper Alley, 2026)
"My Sister, the Freak … is upbeat and uproarious. Jones's lively, thickly lined art has a cartoon-like quality reminiscent of Dan Santat and Raina Telgemeier and her use of light allows for Al's epic superpowered battles to glow gorgeously. The visual humor is admirably, unabashedly hammy and features classic onomatopoeia as well as tongue-in-cheek jokes ... " - Shelf Awareness on My Sister The Freak (Harper Alley, 2026)
“Energetic and affirming. . . . Jones' warm and inclusive digital illustrations feature incidental LGBTQ+ representation throughout, and Pearlman (Pink Is for Boys, 2018) welcomes everyone in with the text's playful and positive tone.” ―Booklist on The Sublime Ms. Stacks (Bloomsbury, 2022)
“Jones's simple and bold illustrations, reminiscent of characters from the Sunday funnies, will spark interest and creativity in young readers.” ―School Library Journal on PopularMMOs Presents A Hole New World (Harper Collins)
