Her mother and her best friend Brooke don't see the appeal of wearing someone's old, used clothes but Louise adores the charm and glamor that comes from putting together the just-right vintage ensemble.When Louise receives a strange invitation to a vintage fashion sale, she knows it will be the perfect place to find a dress for the upcoming school dance. While the traveling vintage isn't exactly as sleek or well-organized as Louise thought, she does find the perfect dress.After trying on a beautiful pink dress Louise finds herself magically transported through time to a luxurious cruise ship. Louise is more than willing to leave her boring, everyday life behind for a little while as a first class passenger with a pro... moremising acting career. The only problem is that Louise isn't on just any ship--her magical dress has landed Louise on the Titanic in The Time-Traveling Fashionista On Board the Titanic (2011) by Bianca Turetsky with illustrations by Sandra Suy.The Time-Traveling Fashionista On Board the Titanic is Turetsky's first novel as well as the start to her Time-Traveling Fashionista series.This book is a delightful blend of historical details with a time travel fantasy. Turetsky brings the world of the Titanic to life as readers experience the luxuries of first class travel on the cruise ship through Louise's eyes.Suy's lush illustrations and the gorgeous book design add another special touch to this reading experience.With adventure, fashion and a couple of crushes this is a fresh story that is ideal for both teen and tween readers.Although many questions about the traveling vintage sale are left unanswered The Time-Traveling Fashionista On Board the Titanic is still a great standalone which even wraps up some of the story lines that were started on the Titanic in addition to Louise's more immediate concerns with the school dance. This book promises many exciting things to come in future installments.Possible Pairings: Gideon the Cutpurse by Linda Buckley-Archer, The Search for Wondla by Tony DiTerlizzi, The Glass Sentence by S.
