|title=The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two
|author=Catherynne M Valente
|rating=3.5
|genre=Teens
|summary=A while ago a friend recommended a book called [[The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M Valente|The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making]]. I have to say, the title alone intrigued me, but somehow that title sat on my 'to get' pile and I never actually got around to reading it. Since then several other people (all adults) have suggested I might like it, so when I saw the latest book in this series was available I decided to give it a try. I really should have read the first two books, I think. This is the third in the series, and I believe there are going to be five altogether. There are some series which you can dip into without feeling too lost, but this isn't one of them!
