The second and final book in a stunning middle grade fantasy duology about a young fairy who has always lived in her heroic grandmother’s shadow, but now must step up and embark on a quest to save her world—from New York Times bestselling YA author Rebecca Mix.

Something rots within the wood.…

Ary Mossheart has done the impossible: the terrarium is shattered, and her people are free. When the folk of Terra are welcomed in by the fairies of Siltshore, an abundant treetop village filled with light, food, and peace, Ary promises herself that her days of saving people are over. It’s time to be normal. Live the life her gran would have wanted; the one she never got back in Terra.

But when fairies begin to disappear one by one, and it becomes clear that Siltshore is not as safe as it seems, Ary, Owl, and Briar will be pulled down dangerous paths as they try to unravel the strange magics of their new world—and the truth about the one they left behind. To save her new home, Ary will have to step into the role of hero once more.

Except this time, if she fails, there will be no new world to escape to.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a dinosaur of GIGANTIC proportions laid a massive egg. That egg split open, and started to bake in the sun. Ever since then, a giant omelette has been cooking on the Tyrannian Plateau. It may seem silly, but it is true.
The Giant Omelette is a staple in Neopets. Each day, hungry Neopets approach the massive, eggy monolith and manage to take a slice.
But this isn’t a story about how the Giant Omelette came to be. It is the story of how we almost lost it—forever.
In this beautifully illustrated original graphic novel, readers will follow Sabre-X, a disgraced Fire Faerie named Seraphina, and their Petpets, a Reptillior and a Faellie, on an epic fantastical journey through Neopia to restore one of the most popular parts of the site. This graphic novel also includes a universal code for a new one-time-use item in the back, which can be redeemed on the Neopets website and used in the Battledome.

Rebecca Mix is a New York Times and Indie bestselling author of stories about messy girls, eerie magic, and hope. She spent her childhood tromping through swamps and falling out of very tall trees—which, in hindsight, explains a lot. A reluctant reader at first, she fell in love with books after joining a reading contest to spite her fourth grade nemesis. Visit her online at rebeccamix.com

Andrea Hannah is the author of several novels for young adults. She teaches creatives all over the globe and writes everything from fierce modern fairytales to the horoscopes (she’s a Gemini). Her work has appeared in Bustle, Elite Daily Thrive Global, HuffPost, Mslexia Magazine, and more.
