The Magnolia League by Katie Crouch

And now back to a new young adult novel...

Born to a free-spirited mother on a California communal farm, Alex Lee has dreadlocks, a bit of extra weight, and a great deal of knowledge regarding plants and herbs.  When her mother dies in a tragic car accident, an unfamiliar and wealthy grandmother comes to move Alex to Savannah, Georgia.  After only days in the “grandma-mansion” Alex learns she was born into an exclusive social club, the Magnolia League.  Forced to spend time with the two other teenage girls in the League, Alex finds herself being sucked into the high-society world.  Now, as her new friends, the girls take on the challenge of altering Alex’s look to prepare her for the upcoming debutante ball.  Through this transformation Alex starts to understand the mysteries behind the Magnolia League’s beauty and power.  More importantly she learns the reason why none of these women ever leave Savannah.  Expect sequels out of this one.
