The social minefields most privileged middle-school girls
drive the over-the-top drama in this addictive new book,
set in suburban New York City's Westchester County.
Massie
Block: With her glossy brunette bob and Whitestrip smile,
Massie is the uncontested ruler of The Clique and the rest
of the social scene at Octavian Country Day, an exclusive
private school in Westchester, New York.
Dylan Marvil:
Massie's second in command who divides her time between
sucking up to Massie and sucking down Atkins shakes to try
to get rid of the extra fifteen pounds that won't seem to
leave her hips alone.
Alicia Rivera: As sneaky as she is
beautiful, Alicia floats easily under adult radar because
she seems so 'sweet.' Would love to take Massie's throne
one day. Just might do it.
Kristen Gregory: She's been
dying to fit in ever since her parents went broke. She's
smart, hardworking and will insult you to tears faster
than you can say 'scholarship kid.'
And then there's
Claire Lyons, the new girl in two-year old GAP overalls
from Florida, who is clearly not Clique material. The only
problem is that Claire's family is staying in the guest
house on the Blocks' massive estate while they look for a
new home! Claire's future looks worse than a bad Prada
knockoff. But with a little luck and a lot of scheming,
Claire might just come up smelling like Chanel
Mademoiselle...
Goodbye Westchester, Hello Hollywood!
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.
