Description
Georgie has no idea what to expect when she, Mama and Peaches are plopped down in the middle of nowhere--AKA Bogalusa, Louisiana. G-baby wants to help out at the famous family diner that once served celebrities like the Jackson 5 and the Supremes, but with restaurateur Great Aunt Elvie needing help remembering day-to-day things, everyone is too busy to show G-baby the ropes.G-baby makes friends with Markie, a foster kid under Aunt Elvie's care, who has a short arm caused by something called ULD and a huge singing voice. When G-baby's best friend, Nikki, comes to visit they realize that the kids in town don't have a place to hang out like their Boys & Girls club in Atlanta. G-baby, Nikki and Markie embark on a mission to start a club of their own: the Bogalusa Summer Club. Since clubs aren't exactly free, they decide to put on a talent show to raise money. Along the way, G-baby will discover an unexpected talent of her own: fighting for what's fair and right even when everything is stacked against you.
