Neopets: The Omelette Faerie - by Rebecca Mix (Paperback)

About the Book

"Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, a dinosaur of GIGANTIC proportions laid a massive egg. That egg split open, and started to bake in the sun. Ever since then, a giant omelette has been cooking on the Tyrannian Plateau. It may seem silly, but it is true. The Giant Omelette is a staple in Neopets. Each day, hungry Neopets approach the massive, eggy monolith and manage to take a slice. But this isn't a story about how the Giant Omelette came to be. It is the story of how we almost lost it forever."--Provided by publisher.
