12yo Meesh is not great at being a demon. She doesn't blow fire, and she likes watching a show about a fairy princess named Nouna. Meesh lives alone with her grandma. Life for Meesh changes when she discovers that demon-kind and her way of life is threatened. Turning to the fairy world for help, she discovers some unlikely allies.
The art was beautifully done and helped the storyline. Meesh has to discover who she is before she can really be of help, so themes of friendship, inclusion, and self-discovery are relatable. Meesh and her friends will be going on a new adventure in a subsequent book since the ending suggests an evil mastermind. The author is Chinese American and all the different worlds have a variety of skin tones.
