Synopsis

Twelve-year-old September lives inOmaha, and used to have an ordinary life, until her father went to war and her mother went to work. One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also not much older than September. Only September can retrieve a talisman the Marquess wants from the enchanted woods, and if she doesn’t... then the Marquess will make life impossible for the inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends, including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday. With exquisite illustrations by acclaimed artist Ana Juan,Fairylandlives up to the sensation it created when the author first posted it online. For readers of all ages who love the charm ofAlice in Wonderlandand the soul ofThe Golden Compass, here is a reading experience unto itself: unforgettable, and so very beautiful.
