Oh How I Wanted to Love You!

48. The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

Great title, beautiful cover, and lovely illustrations.  All of this made me think I had found a perfect little gem that would become a long-time favorite. Something that I would love to recommend to young girls. But it just didn’t all come together for me.

What we have is a very sweet YA book that reads a little too old for its intended audience. The reading level is teens but the plot and action is 7-10.  I loved September and all of the crazy characters she met, but we have all been here before, and so in the end I think it is a pretty easy story to forget.
