The ARCs arrived on my doorstep over the weekend. The illustrations are heartbreakingly amazing. The cover is…well. Just look.
September has longed to return to Fairyland after her first adventure there. And when she finally does, she learns that its inhabitants have been losing their shadows–and their magic–to the world of Fairyland Below. This underworld has a new ruler: Halloween, the Hollow Queen, who is September’s shadow. And Halloween does not want to give Fairyland’s shadows back.
Fans of Valente’s bestselling first Fairyland book will revel in the lush setting, characters, and language of September’s journey, and welcome back good friends Ell, the Wyverary, and the boy Saturday. But in Fairyland Below, even the best of friends aren’t always what they seem…
Eeeeeeeee. It’s so, so beautiful. What do you think?
It comes out October 2nd. You can pre-order it here.
Feel free to put my stamp of approval on this cover.
Oh my GOODNESS!! I am SO. EXCITED. The first book is now one of my top favorite books of ALL TIME and I love that the sequel is coming out 2 days before my birthday! Whoo-hoo! Since I am turning (gulp) 40, it will be lovely to have something to look forward to!!! Do you ever sign book plates for readers? I love collecting autographs from my favorite authors, and would be most happy to mail you one if you would have the time to sign. Thank you!!
I have already pre-ordered it! I cannot wait. I’m from Valencia (Spain), like Ana Juan
The first book has become one of my all time favorites and I hope the second one will also be on that list. By the way, I fell in love with the Wyverary. I will post an entry in my blog about him, with your permission, my blog is called The alphabetical order, so you see how the Wyverary fits perfectly there: http://thealphabeticalorder.blogspot.com.es/ I’ll tell you when I write it. Thanks for these 2 marvelous books, I feel like a child again!
