Flap Copy Description:
All is not well in fairyland...
September has longed to return to Fairlyland after her first adventure there. And when she finally does, she learns that its inhabitants have been losing their shadows - and their magic - to the world of Fairlyland-Below. This world has a new ruler: Halloween, the Hollow Queen, who is September's shadow. And Halloween has no intentions of giving Fairyland's shadows back.
My Thoughts:
The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There is the sequel to Ms. Valente's award-winning novel, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In a Ship of Her Own Making - both middle grade books are marvelous! In this second book of the Fairyland series we see the protagonist - September - take on a life labyrinth and come out victorious once again. The whimsical language, imaginative characters, and phenomenal plot all make this novel one not to miss! Due to the advanced vocabulary I would recommend this magnificent middle grade novel to readers from the ages of ten and up.
