Meems and Feefs are ferrets from the planet Ferretonia. When they secretly carry out an experiment using Ferretonia's forbidden Ancient Tech, it all goes wrong, and they end up crash-landing on Earth!

Meems is a smart, cheeky, and tech-savvy ferret from the planet Ferretonia. Feefs is his goofy, happy-go-lucky brother. Unsatisfied and bored with their quiet life on Ferretonia, the brothers build a forbidden Travel Opal to go on adventure but accidentally bite off more than they can chew and get stuck on planet Earth with no way to get home. The ferrets journey to an animal shelter where they meet a shy teen named Liza. After using a Communication Opal on Liza to transcend language barriers, Meems and Feefs put their trust in her and embark on a race-against-time adventure, or else they're doomed to stay on Earth forever!

About the Author

Liza N. Cooper is an artist and digital content creator who goes by the pen name Siberian Lizard online. Originally born in the wild and frosty Siberia, she has since settled down in a much warmer (and wetter) London, where she lives with her two naughty ferrets and a Pomeranian puppy.

Editorial Reviews

"...While the main plot of the book is Liza helping the two ferrets get back home, it is the interactions, both through the dialogue and the art, of the ferret brothers and Liza that make this book shine....With an already big following from its publication as a webcomic, this is sure to be a crowd-pleaser in most middle grade graphic novel collections. Readers will eagerly await volume two of this series."  (Marissa Lieberman, School Library Journal)

From the Publisher

Gr 4 Up—A humorous, brightly colored adventure comic that follows brothers Feefs and Meems, two talking ferrets who want to explore what is beyond their home on Dook Dook Island. When they create a way to travel to other parts of their planet using forbidden blueprints and special jewels, the two ferrets soon find themselves on modern-day Earth instead. Rescued and taken into the local animal shelter, they are adopted by animal-loving Liza—but only after Liza passes Meems's test that she is a good creature and up to the task of helping them. An adventure with adorable, talking ferrets is a welcome distraction for Liza, who recently lost a pet. Liza's older brother has also been watching her while her mom is away, after her father moved out. While the main plot of the book is Liza helping the two ferrets get back home, it is the interactions, both through the dialogue and the art, of the ferret brothers and Liza that make this book shine. Out of the two brothers, Meems is the intellectual; he's shorter, wears goggles on his head, and can often be seen wearing a tool belt. Feefs is taller, with big, round eyes and has a happy disposition. All human characters present as white. VERDICT With an already big following from its publication as a webcomic, this is sure to be a crowd-pleaser in most middle grade graphic novel collections. Readers will eagerly await volume two of this series.—Marissa Lieberman.
