Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In A Sh

September is a 12-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. 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.
