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

A bright and inquisitive adventure through magic, friendship, and peril.

 Witty, whimsical and a bit waspish the narrative style is what sets this book apart from others of its genre. It is apparent the Valente takes joy language and plays with words with the ease of a master. While this book was written for elementary and middle grade readers, I have continued to love it long into my adulthood for exactly this reason.
