Pearl in the Mist (Landry, #2) by V.C. Andrews

 

Ruby has gone from living in her beloved Bayou to the living in the Dumas's mansion in New Orleans to living at Greenwood. Greenwood is an exclusive boarding school for girls. Ruby wants to make the best of her situation but Gisselle is going to do everything in her power to make life as miserable as possible. 

Another tragic event touches the Dumas f
amily making Ruby's life all that much more difficult. Ruby's naivety turns her world upside down. Will she ever learn?

Pearls in the Mist continues with the formulaic system we see from V.C. Andrews but I think that is part of the fun when it comes to reading the series.
