Mellybean and the Wicked Wizard

PRAISE FOR MELLYBEAN AND THE WICKED WIZARD:

“This sequel makes an effective case that ‘adorable’ might be a genre. If Mr. Rogers wrote sword-and-sorcery adventures, they might look like this.” —Kirkus Reviews

“White blends a playful story about a magical kingdom with themes of kindness and friendship. Younger readers will be drawn to lively illustrations, while older ones will enjoy the humor and clever antics of the characters. A great choice for reluctant readers.Recommended for kids who enjoy Narwhal and Jelly or Phoebe and Her Unicorn.” —School Library Journal


PRAISE FOR MELLYBEAN AND THE GIANT MONSTER:

“Mike White hits a heartwarming hat trick with this cute, funny, and action-packed adventure. Mellybean will bounce off the page and into your heart. This treasure of a tale is pure furry-friendship gold.” —Mo O’Hara, New York Times bestselling author of the My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series

“All hail Mellybean! A fun, action-packed adventure from start to finish.” —James Burks, author of the Bird & Squirrel series
 
“I loved every page of this fantastically paw-some story! With characters you’ll adore, a fun-packed adventure, and loads of laughs on the way, Mellybean proves that anything is possible with a bit of help from your friends.” —Sam Hay, author of the Spy Penguins and the Undead Pets series
 
“Mellybean is an absolute delight. A fun frolic on every page.” —Jim Zub, author of the Samurai Jack comic book series

“Subversive and hilarious. This story is funny enough to get away with being utterly adorable.” —Kirkus Reviews

“White’s debut is charming and sweet, with a plot that benefits from its predictability, allowing the reader to focus instead on lovable characters and White’s gifted composition and linework. Readers not yet ready for Jeff Smith’s Bone series are bound to fall for Melly and the gang.” —BCCB

“[A] charming comics series starter. The graphic novel may skew slightly younger… but Melly’s infectious enthusiasm, portrayed through straightforward art, makes her a very good dog, indeed.” —Publishers Weekly
