Set in an alternate Victorian London-like past, this blends competition and cooperation for compelling drama. A unique debut with plenty of flair. - Booklist Krause deftly handles the oft-belittled personal and political power of clothing, and fans of couture and fabulous fashion will enjoy the extravagant clothing and glamorous world that Emmy is determined to enter. - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books No one expects Emmaline, a girl from the country, will have anything to offer. Forced to adapt to a ruthless environment, Emmaline will surprise them - and surprise herself, too. If you binge Project Runway and gobble down YA dystopias, then A Dress For the Wicked is for you. - Refinery 29
