The second book in this charming graphic novel series that is The Secret Life of Pets meets The Wizard of Oz finds Melly and her feline friends returning to the magical world 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.
Safely back home in San Francisco, Melly's life has returned to normal as she tries to learn new tricks and have fun with the cats. But with Mama and Papa (their human owners) gone for the day, it may be the perfect opportunity to pay a visit to her friends from the magical world hidden in the backyard. And this time around, the cats want to tag along too. (After all, they need to find someone who can help them open their cans of food!)
But instead of a warm welcome, Melly finds everyone in the kingdom has succumbed to some mysterious deep sleep. And it is all thanks to Wilma the Wizard, the very same person who long ago stole Narra's powers. She now wants to finish what she started and steal the magic from other mythical creatures, so she can become the most powerful wizard in the world. With no one to turn to for help--except for a surprising new friend--it'll be up to these four ordinary pets to somehow stop an extraordinary foe and save the day.

Mike White was born and raised in Toronto. He worked for five years in children's television animation before moving to San Francisco in 2008 to make mobile games and apps. In 2018, after getting nachos for lunch, Mike and his girlfriend, Carol, were walking around an outdoor mall and met a cute little puppy at a pop-up adoption event. After much consideration they adopted the puppy and named her Melody, and her delightful and infectious personality became the inspiration for Mellybean.
