Illustrated by
Ana Juan.
Human girl September (The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making and sequels) finds herself the reluctant new ruler of Fairyland. To complicate matters, she's obliged to compete in the Cantankerous Derby against all of Fairyland's previous monarchs. September's story has increased in poignancy throughout the series. Here, loose ends are tied up neatly, and loved ones reunited.
