If the Magic Fitsby Susan Maupin Schmid
Random House, 2016
Fantasy Chapter Book
Summary:
Inside an enchanted castle, there's a closet--a closet with one hundred dresses that nobody ever wears. Dresses like those need a good trying-on, and Darling Dimple is just the girl to do it. When she tries on Dress Number Eleven, something unbelievable happens. She transforms into the castle's Head Scrubber! It turns out that each dress can disguise her as someone else. And Darling is about to have an adventure that calls for a disguise or two . . . or a hundred.
Why You'll Love It:
- Kids who enjoy magical adventures with a healthy dose of sleuthing will like this series opener
- Darling’s engaging, entertaining first-person narrative is nicely paced, and small illustrations of the dresses, each with a unique design, open up each chapter.
- The carefully plotted mystery moves along at a quick pace with enough ups and downs to keep readers excited.
Great for 4th-7th graders.
