The Clique is a wonderful book describing one new girl's failure to fit in, and the tale of the friendships and problems of the most popular girls in Octavian Country Day, an exclusive girl's private school in New York's glamourous Westchester County. As Massie, queen bee of the 7th grade social scene at OCD, tries to impress her crush, a freshman (OMG!), her father's friend and his family have moved into the guesthouse on her lavish estate, bringing their LBR (Loser Beyond Repair) Daughter Claire, who wears Keds, has no sense of coolness or style, and Massie knows from the very beginning that she will never be a GLU (Girl Like Us). Follow the adventures of the Pretty Committee,( Massie, Dylan, always trying to lose 2 more pounds with her talk-show host mother, Alicia, as much a spanish beauty as she is rich and popular, and Kristen, the smartest, sporty-chic of the group), as they set the trends, find crushes among the hawt Briarwood Academy boys, and show Claire that she will never fit in. A memorable book, The Clique is funny, sad, touching, and a story showing the bitter truth of popularity and "losers" in middle schools. This book is highly recommended, the first in a series, and appropriate for girls ages 10-15.

Not intended for older teens, more for middle-school. Quick, easy read, wasn't one of the best I have read. But nonetheless, it was alright.

I started the Clique series two weeks ago and I am on the fourth book and I am a very slow reader! These book are addicting. This is a story kind of behind the scenes of what it is like to be bullied by cliques or be in a clique! I recomend this book to readers in the ages of 11-18!

Massie Block is the leader of the infamous Clique at Octavian Country Day School. Enter Claire Lyons, new girl, and staying in Massie's guesthouse. Claire wants nothing more than to be a part of the Clique, but the only thing harder than getting in is staying in.

An interesting read, mostly because it is so true. I'd give it a 4/5 stars.

I just finished this book and I can safely say that it is the best book I have ever read.

When I picked this book up in the library, I didn't really expect much of it. A couple of friends had recommended it and I figured I'd give it a shot.

Once I started reading, I was drawn in. I couldn't put the book down and finished a book a day in this series until I finished.

I would recommend this series to anyone who wants a book that is realistic, humorous, and has a gripping storyline.

A good read but very very superficial. I would not want someone reading this book at the age I was when I did. But that is who this series is targeted for, younger generations of the gossip girl readers.

The Author really expresses the need for teenagers to fit in with that popular crowd and shows just how cruel girls can be when they feel their "group" is at stake. The book itself will keep you wanting more, I've red everyone in the series, so far. Although the first book is a bit lacking, not sure of what, but the ending just felt empty. As for the rest of the book it's ok, it'll keep you reading. It is a quick read, great for a rainy day.
