Product description

What could be better than a magic dress shop, where each gorgeous outfit takes you on an adventure through time and imagination? A shop with hundreds of dresses in every colour of the rainbow, sewn with magic thread, all ready to whisk you away? Ava has just discovered the enchantment of Marietta’s special dressing-up shop, so she can’t wait to try on a twinkling tutu with matching ballet slippers. Instantly, she finds herself magically swept away to Victorian times. It seems she has an important part to play in a sparkly ballet show… and in making another girl’s dreams come true! Captivating fantasy fiction for girls by the bestselling Gwyneth Rees.

Gwyneth Rees

Gwyneth Rees was born in Leicester in 1968, and moved to Glasgow at the age of six.

Gwyneth became interested in writing when she was an avid reader of Enid Blyton and wrote her first ‘book’ in an exercise jotter at the age of ten. It featured four children trying to solve a mystery about sheep rustlers on the Isle of Skye!

After studying medicine at Glasgow University she qualified as a doctor in 1990. She now works part-time as a doctor and spends the rest of the week writing.

Gwyneth has written six hugely popular Fairy books, plus other bestselling titles like Cosmo and the Magic Sneeze and Mum Hunt. Her new series, The Magic Dress Shop, is out now.

This was one of my favourite books when I was younger. It had a great plot and it got me hooked on the rest of her books.

The main characters in the story are Ava, Marietta (Ava’s aunt) and Otto (Ava’s Dad).

The story line is Ava travels through a magic mirror into Victorian times.

My favourite part is when Ava is very kind and lends her tutu to Florrie(the chimney sweeper) because Ava is helping Florrie to get a place in Madam Varty Ballet School.

I think this book is suitable for girls any age who believe in magic.
