You met her in the movie Sweet Home Alabama. Now see what Melanie Smooter was like before she became hot fashion designer Melanie Carmichael.

In high school, Melanie Smooter is known as Felony Melanie, the teenage troublemaker of Pigeon Creek, Alabama. Aching to escape the boredom of small-town life, her restlessness sparks many reckless adventures. Her boyfriend, Jake, is always by her side – and the local sheriff is usually close behind.

This week, everyone in town is looking forward to the big football game against Greenville, Pigeon Creek’s hated rivals. Jake is more excited than most – as the new quarterback, he’s poised for stardom. But the lead up to the game becomes as exciting as the game itself when pranksters from Greenville steal Pigeon Creek’s pig mascot. Then Jake’s playbook goes missing, which could get him kicked off the team. Could the pranksters have stolen it as well? Melanie, Jake, and their friends embark on an undercover mission to recover the stolen mascot and find Jake’s playbook before the team is disgraced in front of the whole town.

Quick Peek:

Melanie, Lurlynn, and Dorothea walked through the front doors of the school, acting like they belonged there. Or at least, Melanie and Dorothea acted like they belonged there. Lurlynn tried to hide behind the two of them.

A few small groups of students stood chatting in the hallway or hurrying outside. They were caught up in their own business.

“How do we find the art room?” Lurlynn whispered.

Melanie paused to look around. “We ask someone.”

Lurlynn darted glances left and right. “But we’re not supposed to be here.”

“They don’t know that,” Melanie said. “They can’t know every student in the school. Maybe we’re new.”

A teacher glanced at the girls. He frowned at their cutoff shorts and tank tops. He shook his head but moved on without speaking. Probably Greenville kids dressed nicer. One group of the boys hanging around wore polo shirts and slacks. One even had a sweater tied around his shoulders, as if he would need that during an Alabama autumn.

“I feel about as welcome as a hair in a biscuit,” Lurlynn muttered.
