September misses Fairyland and her friends Ell, the Wyverary, and the boy Saturd
ay. She longs to leave the routines of home, and embark on a new adventure. Litt
le does she know that this time, she will be spirited away to the moon, reunited

with great and mysterious powers.
Here is another rich, beautifully told, wi
sely humorous and passionately layered book from New York Times bestselling auth
or Catherynne M. Valente. Praise for the FAIRYLAND series: 'One of the most extr
aordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this centur
y.' Time Magazine (A Time Best Book of 2012) 'A glorious balancing act between m
odernism 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.' Holl
y Black, author of Zombies vs.
Unicorns and the Spiderwick Chronicles 'Septem
ber is a clever, fun, stronghearted addition to the ranks of bold, adventurous g
irls. Valente's subversive storytelling is sheer magic.' Tamora Pierce, author o
f 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 youn
g readers I've had the pleasure of getting lost in...There's as much Phantom Tol
lbooth here as there is Narnia...Shot through with menace and heroism, you never
know what's coming next.' Cory Doctorow
