When Malo and his grandmother board a mysterious, floating vessel called the Scarlet Ship, they're not quite sure what to expect. After all, the ship's crew are no ordinary pirates; they specialize in art . . . piracy!

At the helm of the ship is the fearsome Captain Magenta, a ruthless man with a singular goal: to wipe out artistic expression from the world forever.

Armed with brushes, paints, and unwavering courage, Malo and his new friend Cyane must stand against Captain Magenta's tyranny, save Grandma Zita from certain doom, and demonstrate that art possesses the power to inspire, unite, and stand up against oppression.

Brought to life with vibrant, expressive illustrations by renowned French comic artist Claire Grimond, The Scarlet Ship brims with heart, humor, and high-flying adventure. This graphic novel invites readers of all ages to uncover the magic of creativity and the importance of discovering their own artistic voice.
