Bookroo's summary

Madison Pratt discovers a plaid purse in the park, thrilled by its unique style. But soon, the plaid spreads uncontrollably, transforming her clothes and the entire neighborhood. With everything turning plaid, Madison must use her wit and determination to break the curse. Can she restore normalcy before it's too late, or will the plaid takeover be permanent? Dive into this whimsical adventure to find out!

From the publisher

From the illustrator of the best-selling Little Blue Truck series comes the whimsical tale of Madison Pratt, a clever and spunky girl determined to reverse the curse of the plaid purse.

Madison Pratt is delighted to find a lonely plaid purse in the park one afternoon. It’s just the fashion statement she’s been looking for. Until—oh no! The plaid begins to spread. It crawls up Madison’s sleeve, over her jacket, and under her hat. The purse’s mad curse causes Madison—and her whole neighborhood—to turn plaid! Will Madison’s spunk and optimism help to reverse the curse before it’s too late?
