Her chance comes, but the poor girl has only one week. Nothing goes right thanks (or no thanks) to a Hinky-Pink--a buzz saw the size of a flea. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A happy Hinky-Pink is a fine thing. An unhappy Hinky-Pink <b>pinches</b>! <p/> That is what happens to Anabel, a young seamstress in Old Italy who has only days to finish her dream: sewing a gown for the princess to wear at the Butterfly Ball. <p/> Thanks -- or no thanks -- to the Hinky-Pink Anabel is woozy for want of sleep. Her lace looks like cheesecloth; her hems, like saddle cinches. Night after night, the Hinky-Pink keeps wrestling her bedclothes to the floor -- and pinching. What is its problem?
