Aside from it being the first book (of seven) i managed to actually finish reading this year, it's nothing worth reviewing.
I guess it was fun taking a ride down memory lane back to middle school drama; I come from a preppy private school and while the mean insanity might sound ridiculous to some it hits pretty close to home with me (I'm not entirely proud of my childhood but I've made enough peace with it to revisit it and maybe even write about it in the future)
Anyhow as my first review of the year, it's pretty meh; I guess you just wasted time reading this far sorry xx

I loved these books in Middle School. Gives me major nostalgia- loved that Massie manifested her girl group in this prequel. Looking forward to rereading/listening this series

This book was the prequel to the rest of the clique series and i loved how everything clicked into place. (sorry for the lame pun) There were certain events that corresponded to events in the series, down to the very last sentence of the book.

It was really refreshing to read this Clique prequel; it opened my eyes and answered a lot of questions. It was very sentimental, in a way..to see how everyone came together, how the PC really came full circle. If you've read any of the Clique books, this is a definite read!

Lisi Harrison should be named the Queen of Tween. I think most girls’ ages 9 to 12 would love this book. The thing that draws me to this book series is that it’s so different from the way I grew up. If you’re looking for a stimulating read then this is NOT the book for you. If you’re looking for some pre-teen angst about crushes, friendship, cliques, fashion, G-rated flirting, and fitting in then this is the book for you.

Despite a couple of mixups Lisi Harrison did (aka Claire's charm, the color purple in Massie's head origin, etc), the book is fun and fast-read. Although it is quite strange on how mature Massie seems for a fourth grader, her new friends ah-bviously look up to her in five seconds while the Ahnabees are total biatches for such a young age.
No, I am not suprised that they all wear Burberry and the like, I mean, I am no rich girl like them but I do own Burberry and Marc Jacobs, Betsey Johnson, Alice + Olivia, etc. Still, I am so not a cocky brat like the Ahnabess and even Massie and the future PC.
Loved this prequel, but Lisi Harrison, be careful on future mistakes and mixups when writing a prequel to already written books :)
