The only thing harder than getting in is staying in. That's the Clique for you! The ruler of the clique... and the rest of the school is Massie Block: the godess of all of the social and fashion scene at Octavian Country Day School. The other 3 Clique members are Dylan Marvil, Kristen Gregory, Alicia Rivera. Maybe they're not as popular, but they can all be just as mean.

In the book, Claire Lyons is the new girl in town, staying in Massie's guest house, from Florida. The first thing Massie has to despise about Claire are her Keds, and whole Gap attire. Claire makes friends with an oatmeal-obsesser, Layne Abeley, who just happens to be the dorky sister of Massie's crush.

Hey! Why is everyone suddenly turning their backs on MASSIE? How did Claire become so popular? Will Claire and Massie ever become friends? Will Layne and her oatmeal save the day?

The perfect novels for middle-graders, these books are full of brand names and pop culture refrences. It even has an occasional positive message about friendship. The girls fight alot, but are able to solve problems well (most of the time) on their own

I personnaly love these books. They don't have big words or difficult plots, making them perfect for reluctent readers (not me, but I still love them).

The Clique is a great series of betrayal, cliques, adn boys. When a poor new-comer named Claire, moves into Massie's guest house she fears she won't have anytime for her friends unless she drags this LBR(loser beyond repair) along. And that is NOT an option. When her social status drops she will do any thing to regain it, and I mean anything. And after all, she is Massie Block. And Massie Block always got what she wanted... Right?

Rich girl Massie is ticked off. She's missing out on her friends' Labor Day shopping spree and spa visit, because her father's friend is moving into their guest house with his family. Just because their daughter, Claire, is starting seventh grade at Massie's school, Massie is expected to pal around with her. Never mind that the new girl is a loser in old Keds and overalls who will never fit into Massie's tight circle. So that friend thing? It's never going to happen.

Meanwhile, Claire is nervous. Westchester, New York seems like a new planet compared to Orlando, Florida. And Massie and her friends are the opposite of welcoming. At school, Claire finds all the students dressed identically, and expensively. Massie's group is all about designer wear --- a whole new concept for Claire.

Massie's friends do a number on Claire, including viciously sneaking dabs of red paint onto the back of Claire's white jeans. When Claire's embarrassed male teacher sends her directly to the nurse's office, Massie's friends give her the wrong directions, sending her bumbling into the photography class darkroom.

The clique continues in its unrelentingly cruel tricks on Claire. Claire, however, earns a certain secret grudging respect by handling the harassment with graceful pride. Massie would never admit it to anyone, but she starts to feel a tiny magnetic pull to the new girl, and even feels the slightest twinge of remorse at the way she and her friends treat her. That doesn't change their behavior, though.

In the meantime, Claire wishes deep down that Massie and her pals could be her friends. Instead, she buddies up with fun and funny Layne, who is also not A-list. That friendship ends, though, when Massie steals Claire's new (and only) friend.

Claire enjoys the rare occasions when she is accepted into Massie's group, but she inevitably pays for the pleasure by being targeted with mean pranks by them afterward. Claire's grace under pressure finally cracks, and she deals Massie some payback, sinking low for revenge.

THE CLIQUE is a fun, fast read. The girls slowly reveal that they are more than the cardboard characters they appear to be. Claire is classy and intelligent, but occasionally shows some lapses in judgment. Massie and her friends gradually let slip intriguing hints that they are not quite the shallow monsters they seem.
