Look no further for the best spring break read for teen girls: local author Jen Calonita’s new novel BELLES is an instantly engrossing tale of family, friendship, and life-changing secrets. Perfect for ages 12 and up, BELLES begins the first new series by Jen Calonita since Secrets of My Hollywood Life!
On sale April 10th in hardcover and e-book, BELLES follows fifteen-year-old Isabelle Scott as she is forced to move away from her beloved rundown beach town and stay with relatives she’s never met before in posh Emerald Cove. Izzie feels out of place in her preppy, privileged new home, and her cousin Mirabelle Monroe isn't thrilled to share her home and high school with an outsider. At odds with each other, Mira and Izzie also have to fight against the rumors and backstabbing that lurk beneath their classmates' Southern charm while they uncover a secret that will change everything.
Told from the alternating perspectives of Izzie and Mira, BELLES is filled with Jen Calonita’s trademark relatable characters, humor, and captivating drama.
