About this ebook
September is a twelve-year-old girl, Somewhat Grown and Somewhat Heartless, and she longs for adventure. So when a Green Wind and a Leopard of Little Breezes invite her to Fairyland - well, of course, she accepts (mightn't you?). When she gets there, she finds a land crushed by the iron rule of a villainous Marquess - she soon discovers that she alone holds the key to restoring order.
As September forges her way through Fairyland, with a book-loving dragon and a boy named Saturday by her side, she makes many friends and mistakes. But while she loses her shadow, her shoe and her way, she finds adventure, courage, a rather special Spoon, and a lot more besides . . .

Catherynne Valente is a distinguished writer who has brought fairytales back to life for those of us who feel we have outgrown them. We've read tales of dashing princes, warty witches and helpless maidens as children, but the time comes when we put down our books and come back to reality. Valente has upgraded the fairytale, and now the stories are as much for adults as they are for children. The girls are feisty and heroic - and they're definitely not waiting around on a handsome prince to rescue them!
