A note for parents
Icons is a dystopian sci-fi adventure set in a world conquered by an alien force, featuring survival themes and loss but grounded in character growth and resilience. The story centers on a young protagonist grappling with why she survived a catastrophic event that killed her family and millions of others. While there is violence inherent to the invasion scenario and some scary/dark themes, the focus is on hope, determination, and finding strength—appropriate for older middle-grade and teen readers with some dystopian experience.
