Join seven-year-old Drew and his four-year-old sister Ellie as they embark on the greatest adventure of their lives. The Magical Dress is a suspenseful and heartwarming tale of two siblings who rely on each other to get themselves out of a difficult predicament.
When Ellie receives a hand-me-down dress from a family friend, she soon discovers it has magical powers. One rainy Saturday morning, Drew and Ellie use their imagination and sense of adventure—along with the magical dress—to whisk themselves away to a beautiful beach. After playing around in the water and sand for a while, they suddenly discover the dress has lost its magical powers. Faced with one of the greatest challenges of their lives, they work together to overcome their problem and devise a plan that sees them safely home.
Through an enchanting story and engaging pictures, The Magical Dress presents some of life's more important lessons, such as you can do anything you put your mind to and there's no place like home.
Throughout their adventure, we see the love and respect Drew and Ellie share for each other. They present a positive image of sibling relationships, and show children that by working together as friends - instead of fighting and competing with each other—they can accomplish great things. And, of course, have fun at the same time.
This is the first book in a series that will teach children important life lessons about cooperation, creativity and caring for each other. It is designed to encourage children to develop their own problem-solving skills as they follow Drew and Ellie on each new adventure with the magical dress.
