“Olivia is the new girl in a new city who wants to fit in, and When a magical dress shows up on her doorstep she has no idea how her life is about to change. I enjoyed that the magical powers weren't over the top and made the story very delightful and fun to read all the way to the last page.”
-- Sarah Galvin, The Bookstore Plus, Lake Placid, NY

Description

If you could have anything, what would you wish for?

For broken-hearted Olivia Larsen, nothing can change the fact that her twin sister, Violet, is gone... until a mysterious, beautiful gown arrives on her doorstep. The dress doesn't just look magical; it is magical. It has the power to grant her one wish, and the only thing Olivia wants is her sister back.

With Violet again by her side, both girls get a second chance at life. And as the sisters soon discover, they have two more dresses-and two more wishes left. But magic can't solve everything, and Olivia is forced to confront her ghosts to learn how to laugh, love, and live again.
