Skandar and the Unicorn Thief meets Bunny vs Monkey in this joyous epic fantasy graphic novel where twelve-year-old Meesh and her band of outcasts must save the underworld.
How far would you go to save your home - and find yourself
Bullied by the other demons, twelve-year-old Meesh is more likely to be 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 realised. And learning to love herself might just uncover the secret to saving her home.
