September has been crowned queen of Fairyland, but the kingdom is in chaos. The magic of a dodo egg has brought every king, queen, and marquess of Fairyland back to life, all with claims to the throne and their own plots and histories. In order to make sense of it all, and to save their friend from a job she doesn't want, A-Through-L and Saturday devise a Royal Race, a Monarchical Marathon, in which every would-be ruler will chase the Stoat of Arms across the nation, and the first to seize the poor beast will be crowned. Caught up in the madness are September's parents, who have crossed the universe to find their daughter.

Who was your favorite character and why?

There are many wonderful characters in this series, but I'd have to say that my favorite is Blunderbuss the Combat Wombat. She's a hoot and very tough in an appropriate children's book way.

Any additional comments?

I wasn't sure that I was going to finish this series, which would have been tragic because this book and The Boy Who Lost Fairyland are, in my opinion, the best. There are no loose ends, except for those that imply the adventure lives on. Everything wraps up in ways that both pleased and surprised me.

Valente has a clever way with words and such a delightful imagination. This series is unlike anything I've read before and given how much I read, that's saying quite a bit.

I adored this

I have loved every moment of the Fairyland saga and this final installment wraps up all the loose ends and ties them into a lovely yarn animal. Listening to the author read her own work brings a sly joy to the story.

Fantastic ending to a terrific series
