"The Girlz of Galstanberry is a stage setter. In it, each of the five girls who will attend Galstanberry Girls Academy is introduced. They each get their own chapter complete with their picture. If you read closely, I bet you can find a little bit of yourself in at least one of the girls." -Reading Vacation (Review Blog)

Product Description
From the boroughs of New York, to the beaches of San Francisco, girls hail from all walks of life to sport the violet blazer, pink beret, and coveted, 'Galstanberry Girl', title...
Galstanberry Girls Academy, flanked by a magnificent rose garden and horse stables, rises up from the horizon like a French château with interconnected balustrades and high-spiraling turrets that seemed to touch the clouds. It was established in 1937 by Mr. Charles Jefferson Galstanberry, an earnest gentleman that believed a male to be the only proper heir to his vast family fortune. However, when devastation befalls Mr. Galstanberry's family, he is challenged to re-evaluate his beliefs and create a course that would change his life, and those of others, forever.
Decades later, Galstanberry has become the envy of girls around the world. And in one transformative year, five dynamic girls from different cities, socio-economic backgrounds and ethnicities receive the coveted Galstanberry acceptance letter. On one unforgettable day-- Sunday, August 29--these five girls leave lasting impressions on family and friends before departing for Connecticut to attend Galstanberry's Orientation on Monday.
