Safely back home in San Francisco, Melly' s life has returned to normal as she tries to learn new tricks and have fun with the cats. But with Mama and Papa (their human owners) gone for the day, it may be the perfect opportunity to pay a visit to her friends from the magical world hidden in the backyard. And this time around, the cats want to tag along too. (After all, they need to find someone who can help them open their cans of food!)But instead of a warm welcome, Melly finds everyone in the kingdom has succumbed to some mysterious deep sleep. And it is all thanks to Wilma the Wizard, the very same person who long ago stole Narra' s powers. She now wants to finish what she started and steal the magic from other mythical creatures, so she can become the most powerful wizard in the world. With no one to turn to for help--except for a surprising new friend--it' ll be up to these four ordinary pets to somehow stop an extraordinary foe and save the day.
PRAISE FOR MELLYBEAN: "Mike White hits a heartwarming hat trick with this cute, funny, and action-packed adventure. Mellybean will bounce off the page and into your heart. This treasure of a tale is pure furry-friendship gold. " -Mo O' Hara, New York Times bestselling author of the My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series "All hail Mellybean! A fun, action-packed adventure from start to finish. " -James Burks, author of the Bird & Squirrel series "I loved every page of this fantastically paw-some story! With characters you' ll adore, a fun-packed adventure, and loads of laughs on the way, Mellybean proves that anything is possible with a bit of help from your friends. " -Sam Hay, author of the Spy Penguins and the Undead Pets series "Mellybean is an absolute delight. A fun frolic on every page. " -Jim Zub, author of the Samurai Jack comic book series "Subversive and hilarious. This story is funny enough to get away with being utterly adorable. " -Kirkus Reviews "White' s debut is charming and sweet, with a plot that benefits from its predictability, allowing the reader to focus instead on lovable characters and White' s gifted composition and linework. Readers not yet ready for Jeff Smith' s Bone series are bound to fall for Melly and the gang. " -BCCB "[A] charming comics series starter. The graphic novel may skew slightly younger. . . but Melly' s infectious enthusiasm, portrayed through straightforward art, makes her a very good dog, indeed. " -Publishers Weekly
Mike White was born and raised in Toronto. He worked for five years in Children' s animation before moving to San Francisco in 2008 to make mobile games and apps. In 2018, after getting nachos for lunch, Mike and his girlfriend, Carol, were walking around an outdoor mall and met a cute little puppy at a pop-up adoption event. After much consideration they adopted the puppy and named her Melody, and her delightful infectious personality became the inspiration for Mellybean.
