From Booklist *Starred Review* Plucky September makes her way back to Valente’s marvelous, mesmerizing fairyland, following her previous trip, in The Girl Who Fell beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There (2012). But this time, she’s a seasoned traveler: a bit older, a bit wiser, and ready to start acting like the 14-year-old young lady she’s expected to be. September swoops into fairyland, along with her growing-flashier-by-the-minute Model A Ford, and discovers a land so beset by rules and regulations that she must receive an official profession—she’s named “royal scofflaw, professional revolutionary, and criminal of the realm”—prior to entering. But before she can get to adventuring, she’s tasked with delivering a package to the moon, which has begun to shudder and shake with moonquakes because a terrible yeti is trying to break it to pieces. September and her friends traverse the moon, meet their fates, encounter older and younger versions of themselves, and wonder what, exactly, makes them who they are—all while trying to find the speedy yeti and stop him from his destructive plans. As usual, Valente enlightens readers with pearly gleams of wisdom about honesty, identity, free will, and growing up. September often worries who she should be and what path she should follow, but the lovely truth, tenderly told, is that it’s all up to her. Thanks to a dramatic cliff-hanger ending, there is sure to be more empowerment and whimsy to come. Grades 5-8. --Sarah Hunter
Review
“Valente's Fairyland is terrible and beautiful--with a circus made out of stationery, a city populated with photographic negatives, and glimpses of Septembers and Saturdays past and future just a few of the strange wonders introduced in this volume.” ―The Horn Book
“Like September, readers may leave their hearts in Fairyland.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Brilliantly imagined world, but also Episodic and Half a Book By M. Young In Valente's third Fairyland book, heroine September is now a young teen, just learning to drive and longing for Fairyland. She gets what she wishes, but not as she expected or wanted. Instead of being in Fairyland itself, she is over it--literally on the Moon. As in her two earlier two books, Valente's world-building is gorgeous, unexpected and somehow just right--i.e a Stationary Circus instead of a traveling one that has performers made of paper. She has a a singular imagination and it's a delight to spend time with it.But, unlike the two earlier books in the series, Soared does not stand on its own--not only is there a cliffhanger ending, the book brings up far more issues than it resolves. Indeed, the strong narrative drive of the second book, is largely missing here. Instead, Valente barely bothers to connect the chapters and instead seems more focused on philosophical questions and literary inventions. September has moments of initiative and action, but much of the storyline is driven by external events or concerns matters that happened in the past. For that reason, it's less, too, of a children's book than the earlier ones. Older kids who enjoyed the first two, though, will probably enjoy this one as well. It won't, however, hook anyone new into the series.In other words, this book suffers from middle-itis--it's largely set up for the next novel. In many ways, it's really a three-star not a four-star novel, but I'm giving it extra credit for Valente's vision of the moon and the potential of the storyline she's developing.
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Too too Valente By ML Catherynne M. Valente is one of the most talented people writing fantasy today. She's daring, wildly creative ... and often very difficult to read. She shows incredible mastery of language, but too often what she writes is baroque, convoluted, and intentionally opaque. Opacity is not a problem in Valente's third "Fairyland" book -- instead, the problem is Valente's overheated imagination and her manic need to impress with flashy prose and quirky deal layered upon quirky detail. Valente repeatedly wows the reader, not just with unexpected fantastic developments, but also with witty and insightful social satire, as when a crocodile digs right to the core of money, economics, and capitalism in a clever two-page monologue early in the novel. (Like many other passages, this one makes you wonder how much Valente cares about engaging and entertaining children. It seems more likely that her mission is to deliver coded subversive messages to adults through the ostensibly non-threatening medium of a kiddie lit.) Regardless, it's just too, too much. Reading a chapter in this book wears you out. Admittedly, I haven't read the first two books in this series. Had I done so, my engagement with protagonist September and sympathy for her obsession with Fairyland might have overridden other considerations. Given my lack of grounding in the series, my recommendation cannot be that readers avoid this series; rather, I recommend that those who have not read the earlier books NOT start here.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Growing up and yet still in keeping with the glorious style of the first two books By Pabkins I will never be able to get enough of Fairyland! The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two brings our heroine September and the reader back to Fairyland in yet another adventure that is wholly unique yet in keeping with the glorious style of the previous two books.This year’s birthday come and gone, September is a year older, indeed she is 15 now and the time has past when she should have been bundled off to Fairyland. But of course being a year older, she is much more mature. Seeing this progression is part of the journey and the fun. These would be perfect books for a young girl to read as she is moving from childhood into puberty. The reader is witness to September’s marvelous growth from a child into a preteen and now to a young teenager. If the reader is a child themselves imagine how amazing that would be?The trouble with lies is that they love company. Once you tell a single lie, that lie gets terribly excited and calls all its friends to visit. ~pg 1There are so many more responsibilities and oddball things September now has to consider in addition to saving Fairyland. What is a girl to do…and however is she going to handle it?That is the trouble with standing up to people, of course. Once you start doing it, you can hardly stop. ~pg 122Luckily, this installment brings back her beloved friends Saturday and Ell. As well as takes her into ever more interesting places to meet quite peculiar and delightful people. The real destination, however, is the Moon. Along the way she will learn so much more about her friends and herself than she might be able to handle. The whimsical humor delights me at every turn of the page and yet there is still this core of meaning that will not be denied.I cannot say enough how amazing these books are but perhaps this might put it into perspective somewhat: Now, I loved the Harry Potter series – but to me, these Fairyland books blow them out of the water. Take my money, put me in a corner and give me some cookies, I won’t come out for anything until I’m done reading. These are exactly the books that someday I will read with my children.“An empty Library!” cried Abecedaria. “A silent Library! Can you imagine anything more miserable?” ~pg 109
