As Edie's outfits become more and more outlandish, her classmates and best friend don't know what to make of her.

Don't let fashion get in the way of your friendships. Otherwise you may get stuck in a door and no one will come to rescue you. (hypothetical example only, of course.)

Cute story - the digital illustrations are beautiful and I love how Spires always adds a great central message to her stories!

My son enjoyed this book, but I only think that's because he shared a same name with one of one of the characters (Andrew). He didn't seem interested in the story, but did love the pictures.

Disclaimer: I received a free digital ARC of this book from NetGalley.
I am no stranger to Ashley Spires's work. I recently read and reviewed The Most Magnificent Thing, which I adored.
Fashion-forward doe Edie likes to mix and match clothing. Then one day, no one says anything about her new outfit, so she becomes determined to show herself up each and every day. But as her outfits get wilder and wilder, Edie begins to notice she isn't getting the kind of attention she wants.
Children will delight in laughing at loud at Edie's Ensembles and also learn the valuable lesson that doing something for attention instead of the right reasons (like true passion for fashion or dressing up with a friend) won't make you truly happy. The art is absolutely gorgeous, as per usual with Ashley Spires.

I liked this book. It was like the making and unmaking of Lady Gaga. I think it shows well, that you are more then what you wear. If you are always trying to make a statement with your clothes and outfits, no one gets a chance to appreciate the real you. I think it also illustrates that popularity can come and go, but genuine is always a good thing.
