A tale of unlikely heroes and myths is made real in this debut graphic novel series about a “bad” demon trying to find her place in the underworld. But she’ll have to save it first! Meesh is a bad demon. “Bad” in that she always sees the good in those around her—which isn’t how a demon is meant to feel or act. Bullied by the other demons, twelve-year-old Meesh is more likely to be found reading magazines from Plumeria City—the fairy realm—and fangirling about the fairy princesses. But when disaster strikes and all of demon-kind is threatened, Meesh must journey to other worlds in search of help. As luck would have it, she meets a fairy princess right away. Things in the fairy realm aren't so perfect either, though. As Meesh makes surprising new friends and unites a band of outcasts, she learns there's much more to being a demon than she ever realized. And learning to love herself might just uncover the secret to saving her home. ★ “ A not-to-be-missed romp .” — Publishers Weekly , starred review ★ “The manga-inspired illustration style features adorable and expressive characters and plays with the magical girl genre.” — School Library Journal , starred review “Watching children overcome ingrained prejudices is as magical as any winged or fire-breathing creature.” — Kirkus Reviews “The story has something for everyone : fairy princesses, unicorns, demons, werewolves, and high adventure with a cast of brave kids.” — Booklist "Magic, adventure and danger" —Shelf Awareness MICHELLE LAM is a Los Angeles-based story artist who has worked with animation studios such as Netflix Animation, Glen Keane Productions, Tonko House, and more.
