Reviews

A powerful story, told with feeling and that great attention to detail which is so much a part of all Catherine Fisher's writing for young people. And wonderful to find it this time in a quality picture book – making her language and love of folklore accessible to an even wider age-range of readers. - Chris S. Stephens, Gwales

'That's a weather dress,' Sol says. 'It will last you six days, but you mustn't wear it for seven. The seventh day is dangerous.' The morning after her visit to Sol's market stall, Molly wakes to a sky that is still pale. But when she opens the wardrobe door, her weather dress has changed colour. It is yellow, the colour of sun and sand. 'It's a lovely day,' says Mum. 'Let's go to the seaside.' Each day, the dress is different. It catches Molly's mood - and the weather follows suit. But who is the shadowy woman who lies in wait for Molly? And what will happen if Molly tries to wear the dress on the seventh day?
