The first in a series of Neopets Graphic Novels, titled “Neopets: The Omelette Faerie” is now available for preorder. Find it any place that books are sold! (Your local independent bookstore will also be able to preorder it with this (ISBN) number 9781524880590. The book, written by New York Times Bestselling author Rebecca Mix (who got her start writing on the NeoBoards!), illustrated by Heather Burns, and edited by Erinn Pascal releases August 13th, 2024 and also includes a virtual prize code at the back in a similar format to the one that came with the cookbook, that awards a Battledome item!
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, Fang 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.
I wanted to take a moment to give a thank you to Mr. Doug Dohring. Doug passed away this month after a private battle with cancer. Scientology aside, we all wouldn't be playing Neopets almost 25 years later without him. After a meeting with Adam and Donna, he knew they had something pretty amazing and immediately put forth a significant investment which formed Neopets Inc. He would lead the company as it's CEO until 2007 when it was sold to Viacom. During that time Doug was responsible for a lot of the amazing merchandise partnerships, as well as the inclusion of Virtual Prize Codes with Neopets Merch.

Neopets fans always show up with so much positivity and passion, we can't wait to join hands to connect, raise money for a great cause, and build Neopets back to its glory days!"
