Críticas

"Valente is making new myths right now, right before our eyes. Don't miss the show." --TIME

"[Valente] fills her Fairyland with magical wonder." --School Library Journal

"Remarkable. . . . Sophisticated, prodigious blending of familiar and original storytelling elements adds multilayered texture, while the rich prose oozes exotic, imaginative imagery." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Valente draws motifs from mythology, fairy tales, and Victorian fantasy to build an astonishing, appealing world all her own. Juan's whimsical black-and-white spot illustrations ably capture outlandish Fairyland and its inhabitants." --The Horn Book

"One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this century." --Lev Grossman on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, TIME

"A glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian Fairy Tale, done with heart and wisdom." --Neil Gaiman, Newbery Award-winning author of The Graveyard Book, on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"September is a clever, fun, stronghearted addition to the ranks of bold, adventurous girls. Valente's subversive storytelling is sheer magic." --Tamora Pierce, author of The Immortals series, on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"A mad, toothsome romp of a fairy tale--full of oddments, whimsy, and joy." --Holly Black, author of The Spiderwick Chronicles, on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"When I saw that this book reminds me simultaneously of E. Nesbit, James Thurber, and the late Eva Ibbotson, I don't mean to take anything awy from its astonishing originality. It's a charmer from the first page, managing the remarkable parlay of being at once ridiculously funny and surprisingly suspenseful. Catherynne Valente is a find, at any age!" --Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn, on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"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." --Publishers Weekly, starred review on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"[Fairyland creates] a world as bizarre and enchanting as any Wonderland or Oz and a heroine as curious, resourceful and brave as any Alice or Dorothy. Complex, rich and memorable." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"This book is quite simply a gold mine." --Booklist, starred review on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

"Amusing, wrenching, and thought-provoking." --The Horn Book on The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making
