Book description
September is a twelve-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 (mightn't you?). 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. Having read enough
books to know what a girl with a quest must do, September sets out to
Fix Things. 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, losing her shadow, her shoes and her way.
But she finds adventure, courage, a rather special Spoon, and a lot
more besides . . .
