Meesh the Bad Demon is no stranger to saving the world—but she never thought she’d have to do it twice! Can she defeat the darkness once and for all in this sequel of epic proportions?

When Meesh banded together with Fairy Princess Nouna to save the underworld, she never expected she’d have to… do it again someday. Though, as Meesh grows into her newly discovered destiny as the Guardian of the world, she figured there would be a few minor rescues, maybe some crime-fighting here or there.

But before long, her new friend Chai’s family is forced out of their home by an evil force who threatens to destroy all of fox-kind if they dare stay. Meesh suspects the same masked villain she faced before is behind all of this, but will she be able to stop them before it's too late?
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. In Meesh the Bad Demon, her first graphic novel, she pulls her Chinese American childhood experiences into fantasy so kids can see themselves in the adventure—and realize that you're truly powerful when you love yourself, despite your inner demons.

"The story’s message of looking beyond merely assigning worthiness or blame to find a productive path forward is a powerful and affirming use of its fantasy world." —Kirkus Reviews

"Eye-catching....Middle graders will be delighted with a second Meesh story." —School Library Journal
