Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes ND Stevenson, the powerhouse creator of Nimona, who will share his breathtaking new illustrated novel, Scarlet Morning. The start of a duology, it follows two orphans who leave the only home they’ve ever known to sail with an eccentric crew of pirates.

“Engaging, exciting, and enthralling in equal measure. Acclaimed graphic novelist Stevenson shines in his prose debut; his worldbuilding is clever and highly immersive, conveying an atmosphere that’s completely novel while also nostalgic. With its pirates, magic, adventure, friendship, and found family, this middle-grade gem comes very close to achieving the impossible—having something for everyone.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
