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 about a girl named September who lives in Omaha, Nebraska. She goes with the Green Wind, who takes her to Fairyland, where she meets a Wyvern named A-through-L, and they have adventures together.

This book is awesome. I love the characters and the plot is good, but it is sad at some parts, such as when the Marquess locks up A-Through-L and Saturday, the Marid, and September has to circumnavigate Fairyland to rescue them.  My favorite part is when Ell (A-through-L’s nickname) shakes persimmons from a tree and September eats them.

This book has a lot of creative characters in it, such as Lye, the soap golem, and Goodbye, the witch. My favorite character was Gleam, the 100-year-old lamp. She comforted September when September was thrown in a well by Hannibal, the pair of sandals. He was my least favorite character. All in all, it was a good book.
