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.

Mix wraps a standard story of restoration around the Giant Omelette mechanic from the virtual game, Neopets. While the character motivations and repercussions of this event are serious, they are always dealt with in a forthright and child-friendly way. Readers will appreciate that this graphic novel matches the tone of the game. (School Library Journal)
