A note for parents
Blackout is a YA anthology novel featuring diverse characters navigating a citywide blackout, told through multiple perspectives. The collection emphasizes friendship, resilience, and self-discovery with lighthearted and reflective moments, alongside themes of identity and connection. While generally age-appropriate for teens, occasional mild language and references to LGBTQ+ identity and anxiety warrant a 12+ recommendation rather than middle grade.
