The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making / Catherynne Valente / 247 pages

"September loved to read and like it best when words did not pretend to be simple, but put on their full armor and came out with their colors flying."  She loves books, reading, and fairy tales especially.  She is lonely, as her father was called to war and her mother works long hours in an airplane factory.  September is spirited away to Fairyland where she performs heroic, selfless deeds to save her new, most unusual friends.

Best of 2011
