Embark on another epic, whimsical adventure with Meems and Feefs (and their human best friend, Liza) in this charming, full-color graphic novel that's full of laughs, thrills, and heartwarming moments. Perfect for fans of Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away and Disney's Lilo and Stitch.
In the highly anticipated graphic novel sequel to Meems and Ferrets from Planet Ferretonia, Liza enters the portal and is transported from earth to the ferrets' home planet of Ferretonia. But as Liza delves deeper into the mysteries of Ferretonia, she uncovers long-kept secrets that could change the fate of the ferrets' world forever—like a mysterious colony of ferrets on an unmarked map of Ferretonia.
With a blend of humor, heart, and adventure, Meems and The Council of Ferrets, is a captivating adventure that will enchant readers of all ages.
The full-color comic is a must-read for fans of whimsical, heartwarming adventures akin to Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away and Disney's Lilo and Stitch. It's a great read for young readers and bookworms alike.

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 pup.
As a curious and outgoing child with a vivid imagination, she spent most of her summers in the countryside accompanied by her doting, but eccentric gran. Together they explored the wilderness, foraged for mushrooms, told stories and painted every day.
Liza set her heart on being an artist early on, but it wasn’t a straight forward journey. After graduating high school, she was convinced that she had to have a conventional career and went on to study business at King's College London.
Flipping through the lecture notes at the end of first year however, it was clear that she made a big mistake, as they were filled to the brim with drawings.
Liza got a chance to change course, and eventually she graduated from Central Saint Martins London receiving a BA in Graphic Design specializing in Illustration and Animation.
Before branching out on her own, Liza worked as an Art Director for the viral hit animated series - Simon’s Cat.
I haven't read the volume one but it's pretty easy to catch up to this world since it's well-written. I like it when graphic novels intended for children's book do not talk down to readers, or over-explain. But if you're serializing children's graphic novel, it's inevitable that some of your readers will definitely start from the middle. So you have to walk a very fine line between not explaining enough and over-explaining everything or else people who pick it up from the middle volumes will get confused. You won't get that kind of problem over here. It's immediately engaging and it trusts you as a reader to pick up details from this book.
The book immediately opens with the two ferrets inviting Liza to Ferretopia and I quickly got immersed in this world due to its vibrancy. The characters are cute and I never knew I like ferrets this much. This volume focuses on Liza, Meems and Feefs in Ferretopia getting into trouble. I really like how the author handled the world building without infodumping. I do wonder why ferrets from another world are using American Sign Language, but that's probably a nitpick and I really liked the ASL portion anyway. I won't go into details about the story, but there are ferret politics involved (as the title implies) so there are no mindless floundering about. I'm also going to look up volume one as well as their webtoon counterpart because it was such a fun journey. If you want a light-hearted graphic novel with cute animals involved, give this one a try! But beware: the plot thickens as it goes! You might have to keep reading the other volumes to satiate your curiosity!
You want to know what a ferret is like owning one? This might now show you how, but will give you a look on the inside brain of a few criminals. Look the artwork! Recommend to anyone :)
