Description

When Ernestine Smith moved to California, she reinvented herself as Taffeta so successfully that shes now the leader of the most popular clique at La Cambria Middle School. That is, until shes caught cheating off brilliant but geeky Winslow Fromes and her teacher gives her the option of a fresh start. What Taffeta doesnt realize is that Mr. Dribble can magically turn her back into Ernestine. The only way to become Taffeta again is to dance with Winslow at the Winterfest dance, but even Winslow wants nothing to do with a loser like Ernestine. Unexpected story twists and an accessible, cinematic style make H. B. Homzies first tween novel a perfect M!X book.
