The Time-Traveling Fashionista

Dreaming about the perfect dress for the seventh-grade dance is much more fun than studying the Titanic in history or doing math problems. Of course, it should be a vintage dress - Louise just adores vintage designer clothes.

When an invitation to the exclusive "Traveling Fashionista Vintage Sale" is hand-delivered, Louise and best friend Brooke go downtown to check it out. The shop may have eccentric owners and terrible crab dip, but its dresses are divine!

When Louise tries on a sparkling, silky pink gown, she swoons and blacks out, waking up... on board an ocean liner?

Everyone calls her "Miss Baxter" - from Mr. Baxter (her uncle and manager, says her maid Anna) to the very elegant passengers aboard. When others look at Louise, they see the beautiful young actress returning from a successful tour in Europe; when she looks at herself in the mirror, Louise sees her 12-year-old self, complete with braces and frizzy hair.

Stumbling through the plush carpeted corridors on Miss Baxter's high heels to the sumptuous dinners at the captain's table, Louise makes a few mistakes that her uncle explains away as stress. Once Louise discovers exactly which ship she's on, her stress level truly skyrockets!

Can she persuade the captain of the Titanic to alter his course? Will any of her new friends survive? Will Louise ever see her parents and modern times again?

First book in a fun series that will have readers scavenging vintage clothing shops, looking for the perfect ensemble to send their imaginations back in time.
