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

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making is, in my opinion, a children’s novel that has enough depth to be enjoyed by adults. The imagery is amazing, and the characters are memorable and very easy to love. September is a wonderfully tenacious, imperfect heroine, and even the villainess is the hero of her own story. While it has a lot in common with other child-whisked-away-to-magic-world stories, I think this novel’s individual strengths are its lovely writing, creative supernatural world, and the unexpected places Valente takes the story. This novel does feel complete, but it is clear that there are many more stories to be told in Valente’s Fairyland!
