About This Book

The award-winning classic by internationally renowned author Emily Rodda.

Fete day has surprises in store for Sam, but are they all a dream! Something very strange is going to happen to Sam. In the spare room, the room with the stained-glass windows, the second-hand clothes hang in rows, stirring sunlight. Sam walks through the rows, brushing velvety sleeves, touching lace. The clothes are to be sold at the school fete on Saturday. They all carry neat price tags. Everything is ready. Sam knows that some of the clothes are Special. Her mother has told her so. But she is soon to find out just how Special they really are. Yes, something very strange is going to happen to Sam this afternoon. Afterwards, she may be very tempted to think it all has been a dream.
