Prepare to be swept away to a land unlike any other, with a cast of friends you'll have for life. A charming modern fairytale with crossover appeal, full of 'oddments, wisdom and joy' (Holly Black)

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...

"An Alice in Wonderland for the 21st century...So effortless, so vivid, so funny. Every page has a phrase or observation to savour and her characters are wondrous creations."
Sunday Telegraph 

"A charming modern fairytale...with a knowing twinkle in its eye"
Telegraph

"Bundles of imagination and wry wit...This is a sophisticated world of forfeits, paradoxes and tricks."
Financial Times

"A whole esoteric world of whimsy - Alice meets the Wizard of Oz meets the Persephone story with a whiff of Narnia."
Independent on Sunday

"...it is in fact one of the most extraordinary works of fantasy for adults or children so far this century."
Time
