A review by literarywreck
The Clique: The Manga by Lisi Harrison
3.0
I couldn't sleep last night and saw this on KU—thought it would be fun to re-visit a childhood favorite.
3.5/5 stars
The illustrations are beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing one of my favorite books of my Jr. High years unfold on the page. The issue was, as many other readers have pointed out, that divorcing this story from Harrison's satirical voice and from the mean girls' insecurities highlighted in the book makes this feel like a cruel story inappropriate for Middle Grade readers.
