Twelve year old September (yes that IS her name) used to have a normal life until her dad had to go and fight in a dumb war and her mom had to go work. One day as she washes the dishes she is met by the green wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket) who invites her on an adventure letting her know that her help is needed in fairyland.

A new Marquess rules the land and has "gotten rid" of good queen Mallow. The Marquess is as unpredictable as she is cruel and once she wants something she will get it, or it's to the lions with you. And the new thing the Marquess wants is something that only September can retrieve. Will she get the item and be back in seven days time or will all of fairyland be stuck under her rule forever?
I would recommend this book to 5th through 8th graders. There is nothing parents would need to worry about. This book was really good! I can not wait until the author writes a sequel. I hope you enjoy this book and find my review helpful.
