The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making
By Catherynne M. Valente
September is a twelve-year-old girl, Somewhat Grown and Somewhat
Heartless, and she longs for adventure. So when a Green Wind and a
Leopard of Little Breezes invite her to Fairyland - well, of course, she
accepts (mightn't you?). When she gets there, she finds a land crushed
by the iron rule of a villainous Marquess - she soon discovers that she
alone holds the key to restoring order. As September forges her way
through Fairyland, with a book-loving dragon and a boy named Saturday by
her side, she makes many friends and mistakes. But while she loses her
shadow, her shoe and her way, she finds adventure, courage, a rather
special Spoon, and a lot more besides . . .

Love love love this book.
Love love love this book! Best book I read in 2012.
Er, I mean, except for the Peter Grant books, of course! (Whew. Close one.)
Oh, this is such a marvelous book that when the sequel came out, I was afraid it couldn't possibly be as good. But it was.
