I LOVE these books. I have read all of the books up to Invasion Of The Boy Snatchers one and is almost done with it and it's only been about 3 months. I'm always reading them. I think it is appropriate for ages 9 and up. The main story line is that a spoiled girl with a rich daddy in charge of her own exclusive clique has her daddy's poor friends move into their guest house with their son thats one or two grades lower and their daughter who is in the same age as massie the main character and she tries to join the clique and when she finally gets in massies other friends try to get their friends and cousin to join.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Invasion of the Boy Snatchers: A Clique Novel
Parents need to know that this book features lots of labels, including constant references to high-end fashion, singers, technology, and even junk food. Even though the main characters are only 12, the book glamorizes style, romance, and popularity. The Pretty Committee is definitely not about girl power: One character has a weight obsession, and the friends don't seem that concerned when one of the members has a fever-induced hallucination.

- Families can talk about the amount of products mentioned here. Have you heard of the brands? Is it realistic that a 12-year-old would have so much stuff? What sort of impact does all this label-dropping have on readers? Do you envy these girls?

Why all the "iffy" reviews??
Lookie here, I'm not even going to put concerns and highlights. This series is a bunch of hilarious books about teenage girls who are completely obsessed with their appearances and are rude to girls who are apparently "not pretty enough" or "not fashionable enough". Lisi has made this series, but does she really promote these girls' behaviors? I don't think so. An AWESOME series, I could read those books all day. Anyone with common sense would know that these girls are fictional and that they shouldn't have an effect on reality. I highly reccomend this book for teens.

The Besy Clique Book
I loved this book and The whole series but this one was definitely the best. I just didn't like one particular charcter Nina. Nina is obsessed with looking 'sexy' and making boys like her. She wears VERY revealing outfitsand tells Massie her 'cups' could steal her boyfriend(she even tries to). Nina is mean too she tells Massie she is stuck up and to do something about her weak legs.Other then that i enjoyed this book even Nina's crazy additude was funny

The Clique Is Awesome....Except for Sexual Behavior
I love The Clique series especially this book but this book does have some sexualbehavior by 13 and 12 year olds.A girl wears very revealing outfits including tight low rise jeans,a fur covered coat that doesn't cover her midriff,a gold tube top that her breasts don't fit into and see through harem pants.She also talks about kissing boys and having them at her 4th grade parties, jokes about her virginity,and uses her breasts and sexual dancing to get boys attention.Another characther longs for a kiss from her boyfriend but accidently kisses her friends crush thanks to her friends cousin"Nina the Sex Machina".A girl takes off her bra in class and throws it across the room.Girls talk about cup sizes,kissing and looking sexy.
