Massie is dumbstruck and doesn't know what to do because of this loss. Massie comes up with many devious plans. One for Alicia, one for her crush, and many more. Of course, with Alicia gone, Massie needs every possible effort to get revenge and torture her. So guess who she joins up with and eventually befriends? Sorry, can't tell...you have to read the book to find out. But I can tell one thing. Massie, Dylan, Kristen, Alicia, her friend Olivia and Massie's new friend are invited by the Teen People magazine to be the models for the front cover of the latest magazine edition.

Review:
It's a great book! When I read the part where Massie joins up with someone, I was shocked about who that person was. It makes sense, but it made me feel great knowing that they were friends. The book is different without Alicia at Massie's side, but it's still fabulous!

Book Title: Best Friends for Never
Author: Lisi Harrison
Summary:
In the 2nd Clique book, Massie and Claire are (of course) still "nawt" friends. But Massie is preoccupied with other stuff. Like boyfriends and crushes and parties and stuff like that. She is told that some of the other girls in the grade think that Massie is not living up to the "popularity standards" because she hasn't had a boy-girl party yet. Ah-bviously, Massie decides to have a boy-girl party and invite all the girls in her school and boys from the neighboring school. Of course, this isn't her only problem. She's got to deal with tons of things...like her crush, Kuh-Laire, a uniform contest in her school, and more. Want to know what happens in this thrilling sequel? Read Best Friends for Never!
Review:
Like The Clique, this book is excellent. You're always wondering what's going on and what's going to happen. You'll be thinking what's going to occur next in Massie's all girls’ school, OCD when you're done with Best Friends for Never.

The Lightning Thief
Book Title: The Lightning Thief
Author: Rick Riordan
Summary:
Zeus's Master Bolt was stolen. When Percy Jackson, a newly discovered demigod from New York, is blamed for this treacherous act, he takes you through an ... interesting ... adventure to find the real thief.
Review:
This is the funniest book I have ever read! Just to give you an idea of how funny it is, the first chapter is "I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher" It is a really good play on the Greek gods. Mount Olympus is on the 600th floor of the empire state building! It is also one of the most suspenseful books I can remember reading. If you have trouble reading books straight through, this is the book for you!
