Summary
Fabulous Aunt Fiona is throwing an end-of-the-summer, snazy, ritzy party, and Lindsay can't wait to go. There's only one hitch: Lindsay never ever ever wears a dress. Then, she finds a magical dress from a far away island that seems to be made just for her. If she wears it to the party, who knows what will happen?

Updates
From the New York Times Book Review, 3/12/06: "Schaefer's text (is) open-ended in a way that gives children something to talk about."
