Mellybean and the Wicked Wizard by Mike White
"Mellybean will bounce off the page and into your heart." --Mo O'Hara, New York Times bestselling author of the My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series and Agent MooseThe second book in this charming graphic novel series finds Melly and her feline friends returning to the magical world hidden in their backyard, only to discover that a wicked wizard has taken over and these pets may be the only ones who can stop her!
Melly's learned a new trick, and she can't wait to show the cats. But when they all head outside to play, Melly accidentally loses her ball down the magical hole in their backyard. So she decides this is the perfect excuse to visit her friends in the fantastical world on the other side. And this time around, the cats want to come too. (After all, they need to find someone to open their cans of food!)
But instead of a warm welcome, the group discovers the whole kingdom has fallen into a mysterious deep sleep. And it is all thanks to Wilma, the wizard who long ago took Narra's powers. She's back to finish what she started by stealing the magic of other mythical creatures so she can become the greatest wizard ever. Now Melly and the cats are all that stand in her way. But how will these four ordinary pets stop an extraordinary villain? Well, they may just have a few tricks up their sleeves!
Mike grew up in the Portland suburbs, in the shadow of Mt. Hood. Hood (when the sky in the Pacific Northwest cleared sufficiently to allow shadows). His mother didn't drive, so she, like her small kid, walked everywhere. Mike began exploring further afield when he reached driving age, hiking, backpacking, and climbing in the Oregon and Washington Cascades. Throughout his time at Seattle Pacific University, he polished his outdoor skills even more.
Mike moved to the high desert of Reno, Nevada, after college, where he was captivated to the gorgeous and bright Sierra. This led to many wonderful adventures, including trekking expeditions to the four corners of his chosen state of Nevada. Mike left his last professional work (with an engineering firm) in the early 1990s and began writing full-time about the outdoors. The Trinity Alps, Luther Linkhart's classic book, was his first effort for Wilderness Publishing, and it was an update and enlargement of Luther Linkhart's classic guide.
Nevada Wilderness Areas and Great Basin National Park were his next books, followed by the Snowshoe Trails series and Top Trails Lake Tahoe. Mike has also written for Sunset and Backpacker magazines, as well as the Reno Gazette-Journal, and has contributed to Backpacking California. Mike shares his outdoor knowledge with students in Truckee Meadows Community College's hiking, backpacking, and snowshoeing classes. He and his wife, Robin, live in Reno with their two sons, David and Stephen, as well as their yellow lab, Barkley.
