The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There
By Catherynne M. Valente

Release Date: October 2, 2012

Publisher: Feiwel & Friends

Summary: The sequel to The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making follows September as she returns to Fairyland only to learn that all is not well.  The inhabitants have been losing their shadows and their magic to the new ruler of Fairyland Below–September’s shadow, now the Hollow Queen.

Why I Want to Read It:  The first book in the series took me on a breathtaking adventure through a world that hit all the right notes from  joy to terror to outright absurdity.  Even so, the wonders of Fairyland are too numerous to fit into one volume.  I cannot wait to return with September to meet all our old friends and go on new adventures.
