The Clique
By: Lisi Harrison
220 pages
Massie Block is the most popular girl in her uber-rich school. She's the kind of girl everyone envys for her beauty, money, and just overall coolness. When Claire, a plain girl moves into her house, its obviouse she's not clique material. But Claire refuses to give up and no matter how much massie and her friends taunt her, She STILL wants to be accepted into their clique. With a lot of scheming, claire may actaully be able to win over the girls and hang out with them. Will a small town girl be able to fit in with these prada wearing barbies? Guess you'll have to read and see.
To me, Clair's character was just really ridiculouse. In the story, no matter how much massie tormented and trashed her, she still wanted to be a member of her clique. I dont get how a girl like clair be so superficial and want to hang out with the cool kids and just forget about the normal world. The fact that she was so desperate made me feel that she was a desperate wannabe loser with no friends. In my opinion she should have just gone on and try to make other friends that she probably would have been way more comfortable around. Besides that, it was a pretty good story, and kept me reading till the end.
scale of 1-10: 6.5
I cant give a great recommendation for this book but dont get the wrong idea and think its bad cuz its not. Think im going to read the next book in this series too :).

i still can't believe they're in the seventh grade. i've read every clique book, and i still can't believe they're in gr. 7. =P
like the book, hate how unrealistic it is.
Yes, Emily and jess,
Ignore z1441. This is trap. My firewall went nuts with this comments.

Jess, Catherine, and Emily:
I am glad you realize how unrealistic this book is but there is nothing wrong, reading these stories.
As to the issue of why does the girl want to belong to the clique so badly, may be she has low self-esteem and needs that friendship so much that she will put herself on the line, that way.
sometimes, we make choices that are not always the best.
