In a world where monsters live hidden from humans, twelve-year-old vampire Scarlet Wildwood has a secret that would shock her entire community: she loves the color pink. In Hollowville, a town where creatures like werewolves, mummies, and vampires live according to ancient traditions, Scarlet struggles to hide her true self while living in an unconventional family with her adoptive witch mother, mummy brother, and young werewolf sister.
When shadow monster Felix Ashevale asks her to the Moonlight Formal dance, Scarlet faces her biggest challenge yet. Should she continue pretending to be the perfect, gloomy vampire everyone expects, or find the courage to show her true colors-literally? As pressure mounts from traditional vampire bullies and her own self-doubt, Scarlet must decide if fitting in is worth hiding who she really is.
Scarlet's Secret is a heartwarming middle-grade fantasy about finding the courage to be yourself in a world that expects conformity. Perfect for fans of "The Addams Family," "Monster High," and readers who loved the magical acceptance themes in "The Witch Boy" by Molly Ostertag.
