I was expecting more out of Lisi Harrison for this book.
it was okay, but not as good as dylan & kristen. Alicia's pretty much sucked too.

READ DYLAN AND KRISTEN!!

While trying to put seventh grade behind her --- and with her Pretty Committee friends spending their vacations elsewhere --- Massie Block has big summer plans of her own. As team captain of the Galwaugh Goddesses (aka the Galwaugh Girls) at the uber-exclusive Westchester sleepaway riding camp, Massie will do whatever it takes to come out on top. At stake: winning the sixth consecutive Galwaugh Farms Jump and Canter Competition.

To ensure victory --- and garner a cover shot on Horse & Rider magazine --- Massie comes up with a solution and bends the rules to the breaking point. But things get sticky after Massie's actions embarrass one of her teammates, and her plans slide downhill fast. After Massie's trick is upended, she is expelled from the prestigious riding school and sent home in disgrace.

Back at her parents' summer estate in Southampton, New York, she expects to find comfort in the form of sympathy and lots of retail therapy (aka shopping). But she is shocked by her parents' reaction. Rather than taking her side, they ground her. They also cancel her credit cards until she can find a way to reimburse them for the money they lost paying for the expensive camp. Massie realizes her parents are serious, and she must use her wits to find a way to earn enough money to repay them and get her credit cards reinstated.

Her solution? Find a summer job that will earn her lots of money, but a job that's fun --- more of a hobby than work. In Massie's words, a jobby. After she reads an ad for Be Pretty Cosmetics, she finds what she thinks is the perfect jobby. She embarks on a journey to transform wealthy plain Janes into Be Pretty gorgeous girls by selling them expensive cosmetics and beauty products.

Can Massie survive the summer with her jobby? Will she regain her parents' trust and respect? And will she ever get her credit cards back again? But more importantly, will she be able to get her hands on a pair of impossible-to-find, gold-framed D&G sunglasses?

In the designer-label, shop-till-you-drop world of Massie Block, she is the center of the universe. Like Massie, the first installment in The Clique Summer Collection is as shallow as the children's section of a swimming pool, but it's also wildly entertaining and wicked fun.

Really loved reading this book. As long as it isn't taken seriously, it should be ok for kids. It is also "clean" reading compared to some of the other teen books out there.

I havent read this book but the ones i have read have been excellant keep writing and ill keep reading! i advise u 2 buy and read all these books i can guarantee you wont put them down!

This is the first and the best in the Summer Clique Series by Lisi Harrison. If you could only buy one of these books, I would reccomend this one. Also look and the other series by Lisi Harrison Called- The Clique. Also a great nine books. If you are looking for a great summer read, this is it!

I used to really enjoy this series? but I have to say I'm more than a little disappointed in how similar and predictable Massie is getting. Massie is mean, she doesn't think she's doing anything wrong, she gets in trouble, she gets her way. I like the idea of separate stories over the summer, but The Clique could use a few fresh ideas for the future.

I love Massie, and I loved this book too. It was very intriguing and addicting. I thought I wasn't going to like it, but I ended up loving it!

lisis harrison does it again combining her sharp teen mind wiyh the intellegence of a writer massie thepurple streak and the grounding all comes so well together in the perfect package, this book is a must for all girls following the clique journeys.

This book actually surprised me more than most of the Clique books, whose outcomes can often be easy to predict. It is short and somewhat lacks a positive message, which was disappinting to me as a teacher, but for a casual fun read, it was pretty good.

In the opening to the THE CLIQUE SUMMER COLLECTION series, Massie is the main character.

She gets kicked out of her ultra-exclusive horseback riding camp, and her parents force her to get a job. Massie comes up with a job as a make-up dealer for Be Pretty and does well -- in some ways.

In this short (it's only 123 pages long!) summer read, a lot happens.

This is a great start to a series that will keep us reading by the beach all summer long! So grab your frozen drink, book, and towel, and get ready to read!

i love this sieres! and this book is great for all preteen readers who love reality and drama.

it is really good i was wondering what happened to massie during the summer
great book hope movie comeas out soon

Wow this book is awesome! If you read the other books this has the same drama and different problems and totaly different people! Like Massie's role model and her summer "friends".
I don't want to spoil the book for you like other comments do. (that's no fun) But I will tell you Massie's story doesn't end at the end of the book....you have to read all of the summer collection to get the WHOLE story!

When Massie gets kicked out of riding camp for showing some initiative (erm, cheating), her parents take away her Visa card until Massie pays them back every penny for the exclusive summer camp.

Even in last season's clothes, Massie rules Southampton style-wise. But can she make that much money without resorting to babysitting or working the SAT counter (sunscreen and towels) at the local beach club ALL SUMMER?

You know Massie's not going to settle for anything less than fabulous, and when she finds out about Be Pretty Cosmetics, she thinks she may have found the answer. Will transforming the POTI (pretty-on-the-inside) girls into POTO's (pretty on the outside's) work out the way she hopes? Will Massie's excellent style advice be taken to heart by the LBR's? Or will Massie be without her Visa card for an entire long, horrible summer?

Read this and find out!
