A note for parents
Scarlet Morning is an adventure fantasy by ND Stevenson (known for LGBTQ-inclusive storytelling) featuring protagonists searching for their missing parents. The story emphasizes themes of friendship, courage, and self-determination as characters take control of their own destiny rather than waiting passively. While the graphic novel format and adventure plot may include some action sequences and darker moments typical of the genre, the content appears well-suited for upper-middle-grade and young teen readers, with LGBTQ representation woven naturally into the narrative.
