Publisher's Summary

September is a girl who longs for adventure. When she is invited to Fairyland by a Green Wind and a Leopard, well, of course she accepts. (Mightn’t you?) But Fairyland is in turmoil, and it will take one 12-year-old girl, a book-loving dragon, and a strange and almost human boy named Saturday to vanquish an evil Marquess and restore order.

What the critics say

"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." ( Publisher's Weekly)

Took a while to get into it but enjoyed it a lot

i really love the writing style and the cheekiness of it. initially i didn't connect much with the characters, it was just fluff story but as it went on it drew me in. looking forward to the next book!

it was all right

I have a physical copy of this book that including get into, it took a concerted effort to get through the audio book, I don't even know why but I found it a very hard story to start. once I finally did get into the flow of it, it was okay.
