Teaser Tuesday: The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading where you share a random snippet of your latest book.


This week my teaser is from The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente:

"She once saw an orange parrot in the pet store and had never wanted anything so much in her life.  She would have named it Halloween and fed it butterscotch.  Her mother said butterscotch would make a bird sick and, besides, the dog would certainly eat it up.  September never spoke to the dog again--on principle." -- pg. 6
