As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente
I was able to hear this story in audio. This is an amazing story. Full of insight. I only wish I could write like this. Our hero is named September, her father is a coder for WWII and her mother works in a factory. The Green Wind invites her to go into fairyland. This is a richly written work and I will look forward to more writings of this author.
