The Secret of the Fang (Meesh the Bad Demon #2)
by Michelle Lam (Author)
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?

Gr 3-6--Having saved the underworld and become its Guardian, Meesh thought the hard work was done. Fate has different plans in this sequel to Meesh the Bad Demon. Meesh's friend Chai and her family are forced out of their home by an evil that threatens the entirety of Ponderosa. When Meesh and Fairy Princess Nouna investigate, they discover a familiar foe. Lam creates a tale that will ring familiar to readers: a thriving community rejects a cultural group, turningthem into outcasts. With their children bullied and adults unable to find work, the fairy demons leave Plumeria City and make their own home elsewhere. But one fairy still wants revenge, and it falls to Meesh, with some help from her friends, to save the world again. Lam's manga-inspired artwork is eye-catching and offers a range of distinct characters. The storytelling presents both sides of a difficult topic, inviting readers to examine issues of prejudice and its fallout. Meesh continues her heroine's journey in this second installment of the series by embracing her gifts and learning that true power comes not from a talisman, but from within. VERDICT Middle graders will be delighted with a second Meesh story. A recommended purchase for graphic novel collections.--Rosemary Kiladitis
