Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Fall 2008 Kids' List
“Alas, Anabel is a wonderful seamstress relegated to socks and mending. Opportunity knocks when Princess Isabella Caramella Gorgonzola needs a new ball gown in a week. Anabel gets the job, but the hinky-pink won't let Anabel get any sleep at night! Silly, charming, and wonderfully illustrated.”
-- Margaret Brennan Neville, The King's English, Salt Lake City, UT


Description
Anabel, a young seamstress in Old Italy, dreams of sewing a gown for the princess to wear at the Butterfly Ball. Her chance comes, but the poor girl has only one week. Nothing goes right thanks (or no thanks) to a Hinky-Pink--a buzz saw the size of a flea. Full color.
