Summary: If you liked Mean Girls you'll LOOOOVVVVVVE the Clique
Review: I couldn't believe how much I laughed out loud when I read this book. You find yourself really loving these girls even though they make shallow look deep. Massie and her fellow Clique members rally together to make Claire Lyons (the new girl) feel awkward and an outsider. But they didn't bank on Claire being so resourceful. I'm never going to leave my computer on when I go out, every again! What so great about all these girls is that they're not as simple as you first think they are. They all have secrets that they don't want any one to know. They hide behind their fancy labels and trendy clothes. Discovering these secrets gives you an honorary membership to their clique. It also makes you look at yourself and the mean things you've done to try and be "in" with the in crowd.

Summary: A Must Read Book!
Review: I got this book and within that first day I had it, I was already done reading it! It is a great book. I couldn't put it down because I kept wanting to know what Massie was going to do to Claire. I can't wait for the second book to come out! If you read anything this year, read this book!

Summary: The Clique.
Review: I just bought and finished the book today. Though I like to read books with a little more substance I must admit it was very interesting.

It kind of tells the lives of two girls. One being the popular girl in school Massie. Everyone grovels at her feet and she is admired by almost every girl in school. Massie is also very rich.
The other girl is Claire. She is new and she moves into Massie's guest house. They don't get along basically because Massie hates the idea of being around a girl who is nothing like her.

In the end as always things are resolved.

Summary: The Clique just clicks
Review: I was immediately excited when I picked up "The Clique". Even the cover looked like a younger version of Gossip Girl, which is what I wanted. I am a HUGE fan of the Gossip Girl series, but I was in seventh grade when I read the series, so there wasn't much for me to relate too. Now, on the other hand, The Clique hits the mark. It has all the shallowness of GG, but more things for younger girls to relate to.
The books starts off with trendy and spoiled Clique leader Massie being forced by her parents to meet and be friendly with Claire Lyons, the Florida girl who is staying with her family in Massie's guest house until they can find a house of their own. Massie immediately dislikes Claire, and makes it very clear from the beginning that she won't be joining the Clique anytime soon. Massie's clique is the coolest of the cool, the trendiest of the trendy, the prettiest of the pretty, and the best of the best. And they know it. So when Claire tries to get her revenge on Massie, through a sketchy plan to make the clique love Claire and turn on Massie, it all goes awry.
The ending makes you sure that a sequel is in the works, because the Clique is reunited but not redeemed. And I'll be sure to read it when it comes out.

The book may not be destined for literary greatness, but it sure is fun

Summary: A version of Gossip Girl for the younger scene
Review: This book is a very good book. It is about a bunch of spoiled girls who pick on the new girl simply because she is not rich. It is Gossip Girl for the younger scene, it shows that Massie, Kristen, Alicia and Dylan all have problems and insecurities of their own, but just keep them well hidden. Even though they are all part of The Clique, Massie is obviosly their leader. If Massie says a command or makes a comment they all follow completly. I think the real conflict is that Massie and Claire are both strong characters and never back down, while Dylan, Alicia and Kristen let Massie have her way. I believe that the reason that Massie insisted on Claire being shunned was because she could give her a run for her money. Kristen's secret gives the book a great twist that shows that Massie doesn't know everything that goes on between her friends. I believe that since the ending didn't give the readers all the information they wanted there will be a sequel to fufill the questions.

Summary: Mom's Review
Review: This book, "The Clique", overall is a charming story about tweens ganging up on the "new girl" who is less fortunate than these upper crust Westchester snobs. Even the cover should give away some information about the story since its bearing the classic Burberry print.
However, I didn't think that the 7th grade girls were portrayed accurately. I don't think any 7th grader would act that mature. I know because my daughter goes to a New York City all-girls private school. I read this book because I wanted to learn more about how girls interacted with each other this day in age. I chose this book because it seemed the most appealing the time. When I finished this book my daughter found it, read it, and told me it was mixture of: Gossip Girl (how money, wealth, and designers are incorporated) + Mean Girls (how the girls acted and the strategies they used against each other) + lastly, the A-List & the sequel Girls on Film (the insecurites of the girls and wealth).

Summary: starts with 7th graders....ends horribly...
Review: When I bought this book off of Amazon.com, I was excited because it looked like another Gossip Girl/A list book. BUT in the first few paragraphs I learn that these girls are just entering 7th grade. ACK! No one really likes to read about people younger then them because, face it, when your a teenager you feel that your "maturity level" is among those a few years older then you. But, I kept going with the book because i hate starting but not finishing things. For some odd reason though, the main character wants to impress/hurt the leader of the clique. I thought that was very odd and that no 12 year old girl could stand the amount of pain put into her but still fight 4 other mean girls...BUT i kept on going but only to be left with a disapointing ending that leaves you where you started. If you feel you NEED to read this book because there is no way a book could be that bad then go on down to the library but DO NOT buy it. Its one that you'll keep hidden in the back of you closet, hoping to forget you ever wasted your time reading it.
