Book Description

Series: Clique Series | Publication Date: July 2, 2007

Massie Block: Stands at the threshold of the most ah-mazing secret room at OCD. But to prove the Pretty Committee is worthy of the honor, the girls need dates to Skye Hamilton's "famous couples" costume party. On top of all that, Massie has to convince her old crush, Chris Abeley, to be Skye's date . . . or else they can kiss the room-and their popularity-goodbye. How will she ever get her girls suitable dates and melt Chris's heart? She'd need to be a mind reader! Luckily for the PC, alpha status just happens to come with ESP . . . not the actual superpower, but a secret weapon that shows them exactly how boy brains work.

Kristen Gregory: Loves supersensitive guys, and thanks to ESP, has her eye on a boy who loves The Notebook as much as she does. So why on earth is she going to Skye's party as the Bride of Chucky?

Alicia Rivera: Diss-missed her crush, Josh Hotz, for having a bizarrely clean room. Then ESP tells her Josh's sister is actually the neat freak, and suddenly hawt Hotz looks hawter than ever.

Dylan Marvil: When ESP clues her in to the fact that guys-plural- like a girl who's not afraid to eat, it's all mozzarella sticks for this former Jenny Craig groupie. Will gaining six pounds make her regret trusting her sixth sense?

Claire Lyons: As the only Pretty Committee girl with a real boyfriend, the date-mission should be a breeze. But when her newfound Claire-voyance tells her Cam's hiding a huh-yuge secret from her, his gifts of gummies leave a stale taste in her mouth. ESP? Extra Sucky Problem is more like it.

The Clique...The only thing harder than getting in is staying in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another Ah-dorable Clique Book!, July 29, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Clique #8: Sealed with a Diss: A Clique Novel (Clique Series) (Paperback)

I've been a dedicated reader of The Clique series since sometime in sixth grade, and going into eighth grade this year, I'm definately still in luh-v. In Sealed With a Diss, the Pretty Committee has finally gained access to the legendary room they've competed ruthlessly for [in book 7, It's Not Easy Being Mean]. But there's a catch -- each PC member has to find a date to eight grade alpha Skye's big party, and get Chris to be Skye's date to the very same bash, or else the room is taken back forever, meaning the PC can kiss their alpha status buh-bye. For the five most popular and ah-dorable girls in seventh grade, it should be easy, right? Especially with an exclusive benefitt of OCD's bomb shelter -- ESP. But big secrets create even bigger problems: Claire soon learns that her ah-dorable boyfriend Cam is hiding a big secret -- named Nikki?! Massie's crush Derrington is hiding something too, which could equal major disaster [not to mention embarrassment!!] for the gorgeous Clique leader. Perfectly manicured nail-biting central, here they come.
Lisi Harrison is still going strong on the creativity, humor, fashion, and all around fantabulous-ness for The Clique series. I sincerely hope she never stops writing the series! =]

Honestly, when i read the first few clique books i hated the series, until sealed with a diss. It completly fliped my hate to love. SWD has got to be the best one written. The way it depicts how someone can be "in" one moment and "out" the next is very real in teen society today (or at least where i live). I love how it does have a real moral behind the story, and it is not just a completly mindless novel. I recommend this novel to anyone that has started the clique series!

(sorry for the bad spelling, but it is late and i am tired !)

This review is from: The Clique #8: Sealed with a Diss: A Clique Novel (Clique Series) (Paperback)

Dial L for Loser was simply atrocious, so when I picked up Sealed With a Diss, I had very low hopes. After all, I am a devoted fan of the Clique series, but they were becoming steadily unrealistic and boring. I mean, Claire became the lead role of a major Hollywood production? I don't think so. Another thing, these girls act like their eighteen years old, when in fact they have just graduated the seventh grade.

So, I picked up Sealed With a Diss wearily, sure that it would be the last Clique book I would ever read. But I actually found this book to be much more enjoyable than all the previous ones. For once, the Pretty Committee didn't get everything they wanted. For once, they even doubted themselves. They were confused and lost in the world of boys. I especially enjoyed the surprise ending. I am actually looking forward to the next book - what's in store for the coed eighth grade?

I admit that I do not like Skye's character at all. She is completely unbelievable and I found myself wanting to fast-forward the parts featuring this eighth grade Alpha. And the DSL Daters? Is Lisi Harrison serious? Cliques don't actually name themselves in real life. And if they did, no one would ever claim the name DSL Daters. Ew.

It's true, the book was a little slow in parts. But this eighth novel is grabbing and interesting with a fresh plot. For awhile I believed Harrison was losing her creativity and running out of ideas, but this book shows she is back and ready to write more. Still, I hope she doesn't end up writing so many books that she kills the series.

Good luck all you readers. Enjoy.
