Neopets: The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity


SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED! Based on the popular online game Neopets comes a new and official full-color graphic novel. A rare form of magic has turned everyone in Neopia into toys, and it’s up to TDMBGPOP and his friends to restore it. This graphic novel is full of humor, heart, and plushie pandemonium. Somebody has left their Blue Grundo Plushie here. What a poor unwanted little guy, maybe you should talk to him... no, he's just a toy, he won't answer you. Don't be silly! No one knows where The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity (TDMBGPOP) came from. He was spotted one day sitting on a Faerieland cloud. At first, Neopets believed he was just forgotten and whoever left him there would return for him soon. But many moons passed, and no one came.   When Faerieland fell from the sky, TDMBGPOP toppled down with it. He descended until his stitches were snagged by a tree branch, and he took up post in a nearby tree.   These days, Neopians from all over visit TDMBGPOP in his tree. Rumor has it that if you talk to the poor guy, you’ll get a rare item or Neopoints. Perhaps it was good luck or . . . ?   No one knows.   Not even TDMBGPOP.   Until one day, when TDMBGPOP discovers that he can move. Not only that—he can talk and walk and cartwheel!   But there’s something amiss in Neopia. All of the Neopets have turned into toys—and even Queen Fyora is looking quite playful, if you know what we mean.   This beautifully illustrated original graphic novel tackles some of life’s hardest questions—like the meaning of family, “good” vs. “evil,” and what it means to be real. 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. Backmatter in the back of the comic, written by disability activist and content creator Sabrina Hutchings, touches on the importance of equity for people (and Faeries!) with disabilities, like Seshatia the Library Faerie, who is an ambulatory wheelchair user.  This is officially licensed merchandise from Neopets © 1999-2025. All Rights Reserved."The satisfying ending, likable main characters, and fun banter make this an appealing adventure for nostalgic readers who grew up playing Neopets as well as those who are new to this world. Exciting and endearing from start to finish." - Kirkus Reviews for Neopets: The Omelette Faerie"I liked it and I’m a harsh critic.​" - Josh Elder (jawsch), the Grundo King for Neopets: The Omelette Faerie"This story was a tasty treat! Filled with suspense, humor, and Neopian lore, readers of all ages will love this heartfelt graphic novel about how the loss of a major resource can impact a society." - Brigitta Blair, artist and author of the upcoming graphic novel, Cramming, for Neopets: The Omelette Faerie "Fans will enjoy seeing so many of the Neopians in their world, as well as the references to other content." - School Library Journal for Neopets: The Omelette Faerie"For the first time in a while, I am truly optimistic on the future of Neopets in print. Good things are coming ... This book is proof that the Neopets brand is still brimming with fresh ideas, strong execution, and full of heart.​" - Jellyneo (Neopets fan site) for Neopets: The Official Cookbook

Výjimečný stav


"Za celý svůj už relativně dlouhý život jsem se nesetkal s tak mohutnou vlnou zla, které se dnes valí z úst tak obrovského množství lidí, a to do této životní zkušenosti započítávám i komunistickou diktaturu," píše Martin M. Šimečka ve své knize. To zlo se nazývá fašismus a má charakter pandemie, která napadá lidskou mysl a šíří se po území západní civilizace. Rozumíme však příčinám, kvůli kterým je fašismus zpět? A pokud jim rozumíme, ztratí tím na síle? Jak přemýšlet o lidech, kteří se vzdali rozumu, a o mlčící, pasivní většině? A je vůbec nutné o nich přemýšlet? Martin M. Šimečka se obratně pohybuje mezi vzpomínkami na život v disentu, myšlenkami historiků a spisovatelů a úvahami o povaze zla, o hlouposti, vzdoru i přátelství, o paralelní společnosti, která si vytváří vlastní pravidla a žije nezávisle na většině, aby našel odpověď na otázku: jak žít dobrý život v zemi, která se odvrací od demokracie?

Po úspěchu knihy Muklové a Šlajsny se autor vydává k dalšímu tématu, opět na okraj společnosti.

Prostituce vždy byla vnímána jako něco podřadného, nelegálního, trestného, zakázaného a špinavého. Nikdy se ji však nepodařilo zcela vymítit. Napadlo vás někdy, že by možná bylo lepší, kdyby byla legální a regulovaná než zakázaná a trestná? Dokážete si představit zavedení legální prostituce u nás v České republice? Pokud ano, tak si tuto knihu rozhodně přečtěte a pokud ne, tak si raději kupte Bibli a běžte se pomodlit. Surové, drsné, vtipné a real.
