The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

by Catherynne M. Valente

September is carried to Fairyland after her ordinary life becomes lonely and gray, where a wyverary and a mysterious boy join her on a dangerous quest. The kingdom's new ruler has changed magic into something cruel, leaving September to decide what kind of heroine she wants to be. Strange landscapes and storybook logic make every choice consequential. Lush and unusual, this fantasy suits readers who enjoy fairytale danger, brave girls, friendship, and language that feels like a spell.
