The Time-Traveling Fashionista
by Bianca Turetsky
Twelve-year-old Louise Lambert has a passion for vintage fashions from the turn of the
century through the 70s, although when she wakes up as a seventeen-year-old actress on
the Titanic, she’s worried about more than just fashion.
I found this book in the ship library on a cruise of my own (no, not the Titanic, though we did see some icebergs. The first book, on the Titanic, was followed by two others.
It seemed as though on the inside she was Louise Lambert, but to everyone else she was
this Miss Baxter, a gorgeous teenage actress. Definitely rich. Probably even famous. She
smiled and unconsciously began twirling a strand of hair between her thumb and index
finger. That was how she did her best thinking, and none of this made any sense. Somehow
she had woken up in the body of a woman who was taking a first-class trip on the White
Star Line, with her own personal maide and her uncle/manager, from England to New York
City.
