Does anyone know if this is a real book? I looked it up but couldn't find anything. It was probably just a plot device, but anyone who knows anything....let me know.
Thanks

I also looked it up and couldn't find anything. I have connections at the public library though. Other than the title, what information did the show give?

Just that title, which was also the character's name. And they read a bit at the end. Something about a castle and a girl reinventing herself. Also talking about a silk dress.
thanks

The book may have been based on the book/story "Just Ella" by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I found many similarities.

(This note is also slightly to remind myself: but, at the end of the story, Eleanora finds a bit of sateen fabric and makes a beautiful gown out of it with a train. she is in a cathedral of sorts it sounded similar to a concert hall as well. at first she sees her groom standing there and everyone cheers at her beauty, but then everyone disappears and she is all alone again.)

I work on the show, as the buyer for the set decorating dept. and that is a fake book. We used a childs book, and put our own story and pages and artwork for the show. It's a fake..sorry. It is based on a real book, but, I am not sure which one it is. I will check in and find out the real book, and will post it when I do.

Fake book.

I think the illustration style was inspired by the "Eloise" series of children's books, but I can't be sure.
