Bookroo's summary

September returns to Fairyland, only to find its magic fading as shadows vanish into Fairyland Below. Her own shadow, Halloween, now rules this underworld and refuses to return them. With friends like Ell the Wyverary and Saturday, September must navigate a realm where nothing is as it seems. Can she restore balance, or will the Hollow Queen's reign continue? Adventure, mystery, and unexpected alliances await in a world where shadows hold the key to magic.

From the publisher

One of the most extraordinary works of fantasy, for adults or children, published so far this century.–Time magazine, on the Fairyland series 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 in The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There, all brought to life by fine artist Ana Juan. Readers will also 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. . . .
