Customer Reviews

Loved this juicy book about the lives of the richest and prettiest girls in middle school

I am 27, but I have a weakness for fun, light YA books like Gossip Girl and the Princess books by Cabot. I picked up the clique with a bit of trepidation, because it just seemed a little too snooty, and maybe too young for me. I shouldn't have worried. This was a playful, drama-filled, purely fun book that kept me entertained from beginning to end! Massie and her crew get stuck being nice to newcomer Claire (at least while Massie's parents are watching!), who isn't anywhere near as rich and fabulously stylish as The Clique. Claire, of course, realizes that she'd like to be part of the clique and tries to get in. How it all turns out is the story. I enjoyed this a lot and would recommend it to anyone over the age of ten who enjoys fashion, drama, and books that are just good light fun.

A great book!!!

This book is probably my fav in the series! I love how my favorite character, Claire, gets to finally be in the spotlight! If you've read the rest of the series, namely the previous book, you already know that Massie, Claire, Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen got expelled from OCD school. (Sorry to reveal it!!!) What happens is this: After getting to go on Dylan's mom's show, "The Daily Grind", Massie, Claire and Alicia get invited to go to Hollywood to audition for a new teen movie "Dial L for loser". (Dylan and Kristen can't go, on account of punishments for being expelled.) Immediately, the girls are thrown into a world of fame and movie-making as they audition for the movie and meet a hot co-star. But only one of the girls gets the part and it's Claire! But don't forget that Cam, Claire's boyfriend/friend back in Westchester, is hoping that she won't fall for a teen star. What happens if she does? That I'm not going to reveal! If you want to find out the ending, read a very good book about girl friendships, or just learn about cliques, I highly recommend this book and this series.

Great Clique Book

For one the Publication date is totally Wrong

Heres the info that appears on the back cover: Dial L for Loser (The Clique Series #6) FROM THE PUBLISHER Goodbye Westchester, Hello Hollywood! Massie Block: The Pretty Committee is this close to begging Principal Burns to readmit them to O.C.D. when movie director Rupert Mann invites the girls to audition for his new teen blockbuster -- Dial L for Loser. Massie packs her straight-leg velvet Sevens, ties her new hair extensions in a high pony, and heads off to L.A. with her friends, on the studio's ah-mazing private jet. But when they arrive on the set, everyone starts treating Claire like she's the star. Dial W for What the....?! Kristen Gregory: Parents have her grounded in Westchester while her friends are off glamming it up. But so what? She has the Briarwood boys to keep her company, including "certain people's" crushes... Alicia Rivera: Doing the morning announcements at O.C.D. was great preparation for her latest gig -- being a movie-set correspondent on The Daily Grind. Dylan Marvil: On a new all-bran diet. Good thing she wasn't invited to L.A. since she needs to spend most of her time running to the bathroom. Claire Lyons: Snags a starring role. Befriends a hot teen starlet. Is invited into a world of extreme fabulousness -- she goes to glitzy parties, gets her picture in lots of magazines, and receives dozens of free pairs of Keds. She's living the dream! But what happens when Cam catches Claire kissing a Hollywood hottie?

The Best Book Ever! :o)

Once you begin to read The Clique, you won't be able to stop reading it. Massie Block, the head of the clique, is the richest girl in school. Claire Lyons, the newest girl in school, is staying in Massie's guesthouse. At first, Claire is the nerd who is still wearing her old Gap overalls and Keds. Massie and her good friends Kristen, Dylan, and Alicia don't approve of geeks who try to be cool. Overtime, Kristen, Alicia, and Dylan start to like Claire, and Massie becomes less popular. How could that be? This dazzling book has taught me to respect other people, even if they are nothing like you.I love this book. I rated this book five stars because of the authors descriptive language and amazing main topic. This truly is a fabulous book!!! (...)
