Description
First in the series that inspired the Disney Channel films--about fashion, music, and a group of girlfriends on the road to diva-hood in New York City . . . Galleria is fourteen, half black and half Italian, and a new student at Manhattan's Fashion Industries High School. Luckily her best friend, Chanel, is right there by her side. Wanting to beef up their cash flow, they decide to form a singing group of their own--and invite three other girls to join them. Now they have to get their act together, plan some stage-worthy outfits, and make their big debut at a Halloween bash. They're only freshmen--but could this be the start of something big for the Cheetah Girls?
