Let the Revels begin! September returns to Fairyland after her first bestselling, breathtaking adventure there. The second in a series that seems destined to become a modern classic, from a multi-award-winning author.

It has been a long time since young September bid farewell to Fairyland, and she is excited to see it again; but upon her return she is shocked to find that her friends have been losing their shadows, and therefore their magic, to the kingdom of Fairyland-Below... It spells certain disaster and September won't stand for it. Determined to make amends, she travels down into the underworld where, among creatures of ice and moonlight, she encounters a face she recognizes all too well: Halloween, the Hollow Queen. Only then does September realize what she must do to save Fairyland from slipping into the mundane world forever. Come and join in the Revels with September and her friends. But be warned: in Fairyland-Below, even the best of friends aren't always what they seem . . .

Industry Reviews
"Valente is making new myths right now, right before our eyes. Don't miss the show." --TIME

"[Valente] fills her Fairyland with magical wonder." --School Library Journal

"Remarkable. . . . Sophisticated, prodigious blending of familiar and original storytelling elements adds multilayered texture, while the rich prose oozes exotic, imaginative imagery." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Valente draws motifs from mythology, fairy tales, and Victorian fantasy to build an astonishing, appealing world all her own. Juan's whimsical black-and-white spot illustrations ably capture outlandish Fairyland and its inhabitants." --The Horn Book

"One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this century." --Lev Grossman on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, TIME

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

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

"A mad, toothsome romp of a fairy tale--full of oddments, whimsy, and joy." --Holly Black, author of The Spiderwick Chronicles, on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

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

"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." --Publishers Weekly, starred review on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"[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 Reviews, starred review on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"This book is quite simply a gold mine." --Booklist, starred review on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making
