This is a book I wish I had when I was a young reader because I know it would've been up there in some of my absolute favorites. There is no other word for it but whimsical. The narrator (a character in their own right with an absolutely lovely voice) tells us the story of September, a girl from the Midwest who one day gets swept up to Fairyland where she interacts with all sorts of magical peoples who live under the rule of the Marquess.

After reading The Girl Who..., it's difficult to find the words to describe it. Beautiful, spine-tingling, magical, a stunning work of literature. This is master writer at her finest weaving a story so intricate and simple that I fequently found myself gawking at the words on the page. I told my roommate that this book was so lovely, that you could turn to any page in the book, randomly choose a line, and it would blow you away. Then I proceeded to do so.
