September misses Fairyland and her friends Ell, the Wyverary, and the boy Saturday. She longs to leave the routines of home, and embark on a new adventure. Little does she know that this time, she will be spirited away to the moon, reunited with her friends, and find herself faced with saving Fairyland from a moon-Yeti with great and mysterious powers.
Here is another rich, beautifully told, wisely humorous and passionately layered book from New York Times bestselling author Catherynne M. Valente.
Praise for the FAIRYLAND series:
'One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this century.' Time Magazine (A Time Best Book of 2012)
'A glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian fairy-tale, done with heart and wisdom.' Neil Gaiman
'A mad, toothsome romp of a fairy-tale - full of oddments, whimsy and joy.' Holly Black, author of Zombies vs. Unicorns and the Spiderwick Chronicles
'September is a clever, fun, stronghearted addition to the ranks of bold, adventurous girls. Valente's subversive storytelling is sheer magic.' Tamora Pierce, author of The Immortals series
'Valente is making new myths right now, before our eyes. Don't miss the show.' Lev Grossman
'One of the strongest fantasy novels for young readers I've had the pleasure of getting lost in...There's as much Phantom Tollbooth here as there is Narnia...Shot through with menace and heroism, you never know what's coming next.' Cory Doctorow

*"Like September, readers may leave their hearts in Fairyland." -- "Kirkus Reviews," starred review
"As usual, Valente enlightens readers with pearly gleams of wisdom about honesty, identity, free will, and growing up. September often worries who she should be and what path she should follow, but the lovely truth, tenderly told, is that it's all up to her. Thanks to a dramatic cliffhanger ending, there is sure to be more empowerment and whimsy to come." -- "Booklist," starred review
Praise for previous books:
"A glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian Fairy Tale, done with heart and wisdom." -- Neil Gaiman, Newbery Award-winning author of "The Graveyard Book
""September is a clever, fun, stronghearted addition to the ranks of bold, adventurous girls. Valente's subversive storytelling is sheer magic." -- Tamora Pierce, author of The Immortals series
"A mad, toothsome romp of a fairy tale -- full of oddments, whimsy, and joy." -- Holly Black, author of "Zombies vs. Unicorns "and the Spiderwick Chronicles
"When I saw that this book reminds me simultaneously of E. Nesbit, James Thurber, and the late Eva Ibbotson, I don't mean to take anything awy from its astonishing originality. It's a charmer from the first page, managing the remarkable parlay of being at once ridiculously funny and surprisingly suspenseful. Catherynne Valente is a find, at any age!" -- Peter S. Beagle, author of "The Last Unicorn" "This is a kind of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by way of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland -- "it's the sort of book one doesn't want to end." -- "Publisher's Weekly," Starred Review "[Fairyland creates] a world as bizarre and enchanting as any Wonderland or Oz and a heroine as curious, resourceful and brave as any Alice or Dorothy. Complex, rich and memorable." -- "Kirkus, " Starred Review
"This book is quite simply a gold mine." --" Booklist," Starred Review
"Amusing, wrenching, and thought-provoking." -- "The Horn Book"
September returns to fantastical Fairyland for another adventure. She has travelled around it, and explored beneath it - but here she embarks on her most dreamy and delicious journey yet: soaring high above!
'One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this century.' TIME Magazine, on the Fairyland series
