The strange adventures of Gravity Falls continue in this collection of 4 brand-new tales never before revealed!
Answering questions that were never asked!
Just when you thought the story was over . . . BAM! It comes back again! So far ‘Gravity Falls’ has made two comebacks. The first one was the Cipher Hunt. Remember that one-second glimpse of an actual Bill Cipher statue in the series finale? Well, that was the first clue in the race to find the statue.
I won’t give away too much info about what happens in this book, but I will say a few things:
1) There are two references to the show ‘Rick and Morty’; one you have to look closely to see, and the other is more obvious to those who have watched the show.
2) Prepare for various art styles.
3) This book reminds me of ‘Bottomless Pit’ and ‘Little Gift Shop of Horrors.’ Instead of one long story, there are four mini ones.
4) BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!
This book contains a secret code that leads to a secret website, which has more information on various characters. I found this out when I was on a certain website that decoded all the coded messages on Gravity Falls (I know it’s cheating, but not everyone is good at decoding messages).

Even though the show ended with everyone wanting more, at least it ended with everything being wrapped up and no questions left unanswered. That’s the one good thing about Disney Channel shows. They always end a series with a solid ending, unlike some shows where the series gets canceled on a cliffhanger.
There is a very high chance that we haven’t seen the last of Gravity Falls. Maybe Disney will make a live-action movie ten or so years from now, like with the upcoming 2019 Kim Possible movie. And we haven’t seen the last of Alex Hirsch, who recently signed a deal with Netflix. Whatever he has planned next, I’m hoping he’ll be doing some voice acting. Before I end this review, I’d like to share one last video. The Gravity Falls cast reenacted the first episode. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

This week’s Weird but True Fact about Coded Messages
Julius Caesar, leader of the Roman Empire, used codes to communicate with his generals. Each letter he wrote was actually the third letter after the correct one in the alphabet. For instance, to spell out “attack” he writes “dwwdfn.”
