I picked up The Time-Traveling Fashionista because I was really drawn to the beautiful illustrations and the premise of a time-traveling twelve-year-old intrigued me. Unfortunately, there was little else that held my attention. 
 I found myself constantly frustrated with our protagonist. I realize she may only be 12, but I kept thinking about how she could not know she was on the Titanic. The parts which mixed fiction with true accounts of the Titanic survivors were nice but at times, felt a little forced. 
 Some parts of the novel were a little convoluted and other times, it just read too "young" for me. I suppose I was expecting a YA novel, instead of a MG one. But honestly, for a MG book, this one isn't too bad. Adding an additional star for the really beautiful illustrations. Other than that, I'm afraid the story itself only warrants 2 stars.
