Product Description
Massie Block: The Briarwood boys have invaded OCD and are taking over everything. Worse, the soccer boys have become so popular that the Pretty Committee's alpha status is in serious jeopardy. So Massie lays out a New Year-New Pretty Committee rule: Anyone caught crushing on a boy will be thrown out of the NPC-forever. But will she be able to follow her own decree when she sees that Derrington has ditched his shorts-obsession in favor of ah-dorable jeans?
Alicia Rivera: Is the opposite of onboard with the boyfast. Her crush, the Ralph Lauren-luh-ving Josh Hotz, is more irresistible than creme brulee fro-yo. But is he worth losing her spot in the NPC? And taking on the wrath of Massie?
Dylan Marvil: Is so ready for the boyfast. She's straightened her unruly red hair and permanently pressed boys out of her life. If only she could do the same with curly fries and caramel popcorn.
Kristen Gregory: Has traded her sporty-chic Pumas for Billabong board shorts and a shark tooth necklace. She claims she's sworn off boy-crushes, so what's with her Blue Crush makeover?
Claire Lyons: Spent all summer thinking about Cam's one blue eye and one green eye. But now he's moved on to a new girl faster than you can say cuh-yutest couple. At least Claire finally has a secure spot in the NPC-unless jealousy-flirting breaks the boyfast. . . .
The Clique: The only thing harder than getting in is staying in.

 A parent's review February 8, 2008

A guilty pleasure for middle-school girls, this shallow, mean and funny novel skewers the 8th grade world in the same way Sex and the City does ours, though without the adult overtones. The catty, fashion-obsessed girls of the New Pretty Committee are like PG-rated versions of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. Their "ehmagawd" adventures are addictive.
This latest Clique novel -- the 9th in the series -- starts with alpha leader Massie declaring a "boyfast" for the group. None of the girls can crush on a boy, or face expulsion from the NPC, and certain LBR status. LBR? Loser Beyond Repair.
With tongue firmly in cheek, author Lisi Harrison slips in endless pop references and brand names. When Massie gets upset with herself, she gets "snippier than Katie Holmes' hairdresser in 2007."
As long as girls take it all with a grain of salt, they'll love this little comic treasure.
 The most ah-nnoying book ever read! March 3, 2008

I haven't finished the book yet(pg.88), although I plan on finishing it, but from what I've read already, I can see that this whole series should never have been published. The girls in this book all seem to be really superficial, shallow, and downright mean to anyone who is not dressed as "good" as they are. The only girls who might be the least annoying are Claire, and Alicia. That's it. Massie is the most annoying. I don't have a favorite character, but if I did, it would be any of the "LBR"'s (Loser Beyond Repair.). Mainly because they are the ones that deserve the good stuff. In fact, the actual LBR's in this book, are the five girls in the "Pretty Committee". These situations are not even real, and they are so stupid. I really hope this series ends with each one of the girls getting their hearts broken, so they really are the "Losers Beyond Repair." And don't get me started on the writing of the book, I mean "Thanks ah-lawt", "ah-dorable" "ehmagawd", and "Ah-greed"? What kind of English is that? The bathroom incident with Irika was a very mean thing to do to that poor girl. She didn't deserve that kind of treatment. Even their name (New Pretty Committee) sounds shallow, and disgraceful. This book is worthless, and petty, and I do not recommend it to anyone. Don't waste your money on this "book." And By the way, I believe that Massie and Claire deserved to be dumped and/or replaced.
A hit for this 29-year old, too! February 23, 2008

With the boyfast firmly in place, Massie Block and crew prepare for the invasion of the Briarwood boys after the destruction of their wavepool drowns their school.
Massie hands out gorgeous necklaces at the beginning of the semester to remind The Clique to remain boy-free, after their humiliating experiences last semester. Unfortunately, this isn't much of a challenge, as most of their crushes seem to have moved on to new OCD girls.
No matter, The Clique can't be held down by circumstance, and when they (except Alicia) get moved to a funky trailer to make room for the boys, they make the best of it and manage to make even their LBR (Loser Beyond Repair) schoolmates seem somewhat cool. But even though the boyfast is supposedly going strong, each girl has some boy interest that jeopardizes her membership in the NPC (New Pretty Committee).
How will Massie and crew come out on top (you know they will)? Read this guilty-pleasure book and find out.
You CAN judge a book by its ah-dorable cover! February 9, 2008

I was so excited when book 9 of the Clique series finally came out. Bratfest at Tiffany's will not disappoint Clique fans. It is perhaps the best one yet!
This book entertains us with stories of what happens when the Briarwood boys invade OCD. (think back to the end of book 8 when the wave pool destroyed their school, forcing the boys to attend school at OCD.) Nothing is the same for the NPC- not even their beloved cafe! With the boyfast in full-swing, the NPW- minus Alcica- are forced from the main building to attend class in overflow trailers. The NPC in a smelly, unstylish trailer filled with LBRs? Truly an entertaining read!
There are also some unanswered questions about Florida, Massie's purple hair streak, a confidentiality contract, and a shark-tooth necklace....perhaps to be answered in the Clique Summer Collection?
I am a middle school teacher who has turned so many girls onto reading by introducing them to the Clique series. Lisi Harrison's books are well-written, fun, sophisiticated, yet very age-appropriate.
Awesome! February 16, 2008

I luh-ved this book. i loved it so much, that i was sad when it ended because i want to read what happens next. You have to get this book, because it is one of the best books in the series. The New Pretty Comittee declare a boyfast, and anyone caught crushing on a boy would be out of the NPC forever. But Massie meets a new boy, Alicia hangs out with Josh, Kristen is wearing a necklace that a guy gave her, and Claire is caught jealously-flirting with a boy trying win Cam back (who moved on to a new gorgeous girl). Dylan is the only one who has a secure spot in the NPC. Ofcourse Massie meets MAP (maximum alpha potential), always 2 steps ahead of the game, impossible to keep up with. But how can she dominate 8th grade alpha style with out breaking boy's hearts? Read to find out ;). I recommend this book, so you should run and get ASAP!
