Compiling four of the shorter Chloe By Design books
into one, this title will appeal to older readers because
of
its length. Chloe
has returned from a successful summer internship in New York and feels at odds
back in her high school. Her best friend
Alex eggs her on to get started with college applications. As she looks through the requirements, Chloe
chooses her concepts. Designing gowns
for classmates for the Winter Formal is one idea. As the designs emerge, she cooperates with
Nina, her old nemesis, so they can bounce ideas off each other. Unsure which school she wants to attend,
Chloe accompanies her mother to visit the three
design schools she is considering. At
the close of this compilation, all applications have been mailed and
Chloe has been accepted at
all three. Now she must decide.
The illustrations make this story. For the non-fashion elite, the illustrations flesh
out the text. The reader can see the
designs that have been described. This longer compilation edition may
look daunting to younger readers and would
appeal mainly to grades 7-10. It includes the original
four volumes
of the Chloe by Design
series: Final Cut, Back
to Basics,
All or Nothing, and Made
to Measure
.
Summary: This volume represents a compilation
of books 9-12 of the series Chloe by Design. Chloe returns from her summer internship,
begins college applications, designs gowns for classmates,
visits campuses, and cooperates with Nina (her nemesis). Grades 5-8 and
into high school.
