The popular Carter House Girls series from bestselling young adult author Melody Carlson gets a fresh new look to appeal to today's readers. Mix six teenage girls and one '60s fashion icon (retired, of course) in an old Victorian-era boarding home, and things are bound to get interesting. Add guys and dating, a little high-school angst, and huge personalities ... and you've got the Carter House Girls. In book three of the Carter House Girls series, Taylor returns from her disappearing act to find the girls are still at odds. DJ, Eliza, and Taylor are locked in a three-way competition for Homecoming Queen that threatens to further divide the house. With relatable characters that struggle with real issues-friendships, boys, school, faith-the Carter House Girls series appeals to teen girl readers facing similar questions of identity.
