About Belles
"Fifteen-year-old Isabelle Scott loves her life by the
boardwalk on the supposed wrong side of the tracks in North Carolina. But when
tragedy strikes, a social worker sends her to live with a long-lost uncle and
his preppy, privileged family. Isabelle is taken away from everything she's
ever known, and unfortunately, inserting her into the glamorous life of Emerald
Cove doesn't go so well. Her cousin Mirabelle Monroe isn't thrilled to share
her life with an outsider, and in, addition to dealing with all the rumors and
backstabbing that lurk beneath their classmates' Southern charm, Isabelle finds
out a secret about her new family that she can't ignore."
