"Twelve-year-old September lives in Omaha, and used to have an ordinary life, until her father went to war and her mother went to work. One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also not much older than September.
Only September can retrieve a talisman the Marquess wants from the enchanted woods, and if she doesn?t . . . then the Marquess will make life impossible for the inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends, including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday."
Looks fantastic doesn't it?

Lu, are you going to read this one? I got a free ebook from the author's website right before the release, but I'm undecided. Sooo many other things to read right now.
I'm absolutely excited about this one! Love that creepy-cool little trailer, and the Victorian Alice in Wonderland feel of it all. Hope I win, but I'm ordering it before that. Thanks for the giveaway, Lu! :)
I was sad when it ended. A must read for fantasy fans, especially fantasy fans that adore fairy tales. This is a beautiful, humorous, heartwarming, creative, and absolutely engaging read that no one should miss out on. Fans of Neil Gaiman's books should also check this one out; there are times when the storytelling reminds some of his stories as well.
