As a publisher, I'm excited to give kids in underprivileged areas around the world the same literary experience I was lucky enough to have," Adams stated. With this development, Adams has a platform for sharing his lifelong passion for reading on a global scale and further expanding IDW’s reach in the book-loving community.
