Description

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED! Based on the popular online game Neopets comes the first in a series of graphic novels! Join Sabre-X, his Petpet Fang, a disgraced Fire Faerie with a checkered past, and all of your favorite Neopets characters in this original graphic novel that's about forgiveness, magic, and love (with classic Neopian humor laced throughout).

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.

"This story was a tasty treat! Filled with suspense, humor, and Neopian lore, readers of all ages will love this heartfelt graphic novel about how the loss of a major resource can impact a society." - Brigitta Blair, artist and author of the upcoming graphic novel, Cramming

About the Author

Heather Burns lives in a small town in the center of England called Uttoxeter (yes, it is a real place!). She studied Illustration at The University of Lincoln but is now back in Uttoxeter working in her studio with her black lab, Meadow, for company. As a child, Heather was brought up on Disney movies and The Simpsons, which were early inspiration for her to want to be involved in art in some way or another. She used to love creating comic books and would have so much fun thinking up all the different characters. This is something Heather still loves today. Nowadays, Heather works digitally, but when she gets a spare minute, she will experiment with different methods such as paper collage. If Heather weren’t an illustrator, she’d like to think she’d be a figure skater! Not that she can skate, but if there had been an ice rink in her tiny town when she was growing up, she’d have been there for sure! Or she’d do something with animals, maybe in a rainforest somewhere…with orangutans.

Luiz Fernando da Silva has been passionate about drawing since he was a child. He lives in Brazil.
