The Fairyland Series:

“One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this century.” —Time magazine, on the Fairyland series

“The rules of realism in Valente’s universe are not simply bent or ignored, but systematically and gleefully reversed.” —The New Yorker

“A glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian Fairy Tale, done with heart and wisdom.” —Neil Gaiman, Newbery Award-winning author of The Graveyard Book

“September is a clever, fun, stronghearted addition to the ranks of bold, adventurous girls. Valente's subversive storytelling is sheer magic.” —Tamora Pierce, author of The Immortals Series

“A mad, toothsome romp of a fairy tale — full of oddments, whimsy, and joy.” —Holly Black, author of Zombies vs. Unicorns and the Spiderwick Chronicles

“Amusing, wrenching, and thought-provoking.” —The Horn Book

“This is a kind of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by way of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland—it's the sort of book one doesn't want to end.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“[Fairyland creates] a world as bizarre and enchanting as any Wonderland or Oz and a heroine as curious, resourceful and brave as any Alice or Dorothy. Complex, rich and memorable.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“This book is quite simply a gold mine.” —Booklist, starred review
