Homecoming Queen by Melody Carlson
With six teenage girls living under one roof, things are bound to get interesting. Mix six teenaged girls and one '60s fashion icon (retired, of course) in an old Victorian-era boarding home. Add guys and dating, a little high-school angst, and huge personalities ... and you've got the Carter House Girls.
The Carter House experiences a shake-up when Taylor returns home after an unnerving disappearing act. But the largest issue may actually stem from the Homecoming Queen race, as DJ, Eliza, Taylor find themselves in a three-way competition that threatens to further divide the house. As the campaigns heat up, DJ begins to wonder if being nominated was actually a curse-and finds herself more worried about her friend Casey's strange behavior than the possibility of wearing a crown.
