The velvet cloak - Jenny Oldfield

Amber loves playing dress-up with her friends, Pearl and Lily. But Amber's dressing-up box isn't like any other ... When Amber puts on a raggedy skirt there's a magical dazzle of silver light and the next thing she knows she's in the middle of Cinderella's fairytale world!

Amber is determined to escape the cellar once and for all but the only way out is through the chimney. Up she climbs and at last, she's free ... until she stumbles into a gang of pickpockets. They're lying in wait for the guests coming to the ball. But Amber doesn't want to be a thief! How will she escape?
