review 1: This book was nothing like I expected. After her mother dies, Alex "Alexandria" Lee has to trade in her life at the RC, an organic farming commune, for the old-time southern elite in Savannah. Alex's grandmother, the head of the mysterious Magnolia League, wants her granddaughter to follow in her footsteps, but Alex isn't a typical magnolia--she's a little heavy, wears jeans and tees, and has ratty dreadlocks. The further Alex gets into her new life, she uncovers troubling information about her mother and the league. I am not a big fan of the supernatural, but I'm glad I listened to this book because many of my students enjoy this kind of book. The first in a series. I may check into the second book to find out what will happen next.
review 2: I was interested
... morein this book when I saw the pretty cover at the book store. I read the description and knew that I had to buy it. It was the only copy and was about a girl moving to the south. I am a fan of books that take place in the south, especially Georgia. I was disappointed that there was mention of smoking pot. Thankfully, the book didn't focus on it and moved passed that. I enjoyed the story. It was different than what I have been reading recently. I plan to order the next book in the series to find out what happens to Alex and the Magnolia League. less
