Book Reviews By Teens for Teens
Reviewed by Colleen K. Reviewed by Kelly K. Best Friends for Never is the second novel in The Clique series. Massie Block the queen of Westchester (or at least that's how everyone sees her) is having her annual Halloween party. Her best friends, Kristen, Dylan, and Alicia, are also on the committee for the party. They all want to be devils, but Claire's mom wants her to be on the committee with them, and she wants to be Power Puff Girls. Of course Massie will never let that happen, because how embarrassing, right? What if her maybe boyfriend Derek Harrington (or as the clique calls him, Darrington) would see her? Relationship would soon be over. and along with these problems Alicia's entirely annoying friend from the dance, Olivia, is hanging around with them too much. Will the party turn out great or will it be horrible? Will Massie and Darrington stay together? Who knows, anything can happen in the clique.
Reviewed by Kelly K. Third times the charm! Revenge of the Wannabes is the third book in the Clique series, by Lisi Harrison. This book is the first one that is told in the point of view of Alicia. She is one of the five people in the most popular group at Octavian Country Day School. If you read the last book in the series called Best Friends for Never, you would know that Massie Block, the leader of the Pretty Committee, is mad at Alicia for switching the poll boxes in the uniform contest. In this book, Alicia has decided to create her own Pretty Committee. It consists of what Massie, Kristen, and Dylan would call LBR's (losers beyond repair). There is Strawberry, who everyone thinks is weird, and a total Kristen wannabe. This book is just as fun and intriguing as the other two. Are Massie and Alicia going to become BFF's again? Will she ever dump her new clique? Find out in Revenge of the Wannabes. P.S. Remember that
in February of 2008, the newest Clique novel will be coming out. |
