"Turetsky delivers her enjoyable history lesson through the eyes of a girl who knows every major and minor fashion designer, a character sure to appeal to her target audience, as will the time-traveling theme. Appealing illustrations aid readers' imaginations... Good fun."( Kirkus Reviews on The Time-Traveling Fashionista at the Palace of Marie Antoinette).
-
"Turetsky's debut breezily incorporates past and current pop culture references; with a spunky main character and breathless descriptions of glamorous clothing, it's entertaining wish fulfillment for those as fashion-focused as Louise." (PW on The Time-Traveling Fashionista On Board the Titanic).
-
"Using vintage fashion as the trigger, with descriptions of clothing prettied up by Suy's full-color illustrations of elegant gowns.... the promise of more books to come in a series will please fans." (Booklist).
-
"Debut author Turetsky portrays Louise as a girl caught between childhood fantasies-Louise's closet is 'the only place left where she still felt the nervous anticipation that extraordinary and magical things could happen'-and the reality of growing up.... the novel's message of living life in the moment and accepting oneself provides some counterweight to the detailed fashion montage-presented throughout the book in delicate, color illustrations. Clothes, boys and adventure make for a quick series opener." (Kirkus).
-
"[T]his series opener will no doubt have its fans, and aspiring fashionistas will find themselves fascinated by the forerunners of the catwalk." (BCCB).
-
"...The story begins when Louise, a stylish seventh-grader from Connecticut, tries on a dress at a vintage sale that used to belong to a film star. Then suddenly, she's transported, and becomes a passenger on [a] massively luxurious cruise ship in a sea of glamorous people with gorgeous clothes. The story takes tons of twists and turns as Louise figures out whether her alter-ego can change history and stop the ship from sinking. So, bottom line: totally recommend! Plus, the pencil sketches of gowns throughout the book give it a very reading-your-awesome-best-friend's-diary feel." (Seventeen.com).

"The Time Traveling Fashionista had me under its spell from the first page." (Joanna Philbin, author of the Daughters series on The Time-Traveling Fashionista On Board the Titanic).
