Bookroo's summary

Thirteen-year-old Delia dreams of fitting in, but her thrift store find—a faux fur coat—transforms her life. Suddenly, she's popular and confident, but the coat's original owner, the notorious Cruella de Vil, demands it back. As Delia faces Cruella's relentless pursuit, she must decide if the allure of beauty is worth the dark cost. Will Delia outsmart the villain, or will she pay the ultimate price for her wish? Dive into this chilling tale where fashion meets fear, and discover if Delia can escape Cruella's clutches before it's too late.

From the publisher

Be Careful What You Wish Fur, the fourth book in the spook-tacular Disney Chills series, combines all the creepy-crawly feels of Goosebumps with all the wicked wit of one of Disney’s most infamous villains, Cruella de Vil. The dreams that you FEAR will come true.Thirteen-year-old Delia loves fashion. She loves beauty products. She spends hours in her room attempting to take the perfect selfie. All she wants is to be as cool and trendy as the other girls in her school. Unfortunately, Delia’s family is not exactly flush with cash, so keeping up with the latest styles is next to impossible. But when Delia finds a near flawless faux fur coat at her local thrift store, she discovers that when she wears it, she’s transformed. Literally. Delia becomes prettier, more confident, and–as a result–more popular, whenever she wears the coat. She’s racking up the likes both virtually and IRL. Finally, everything is perfect. That is until the original owner of the coat decides that she wants it back. Enter Cruella De Vil–a woman who will stop at nothing to reclaim her most prized possession. And when Delia tries to make a deal with the De Vil, she’ll learn that beauty is not worth the price.Grab your nightlight, dear reader, and prepare to be CHILL-ed!
