NEOPETS

A delightful adventure set in the world of the popular online game.

In the heart of Tyrannia sits the popular Giant Omelette, which mysteriously regenerates itself so that all the Neopets can have the chance to eat it. Sabre-X’s job is to stand guard and ensure that no Neopet has more than one slice of omelette each day. But when exiled faerie Seraphina approaches Sabre-X to tell him that the omelette is in trouble, he doesn’t believe her—and soon those who eat it become sick with Ugga-Ugga. Sabre-X goes after Seraphina, hoping they can fix the problem together. During their journey, they discover that Marina, Seraphina’s ex-girlfriend, has gone missing—and they must put everything right before the equinox arrives in two days. As the duo (plus their two cute companions) run into more obstacles, they also discover a hidden agenda and the reason for Seraphina’s banishment from Faerieland. Fans will appreciate that the brightly colored illustrations are drawn in the same style as the website and feature adorable animal characters and faeries drawn as beautiful girls (Seraphina and Marina are light-skinned, with red and blond hair, respectively). The satisfying ending, likable main characters, and fun banter make this an appealing adventure for nostalgic readers who grew up playing Neopets as well as those who are new to this world.

Exciting and endearing from start to finish.
