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 !)

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.

The book was deivered in a very timely fashion. My daughter who is hooked on the series appeared to have loved it....

i was a little scared to read this book to tell ya the truth. All the girls in my school were reading it. and i was like. yeah im NEVER going to read it.
Then one day this girl shoved the first book in my hand and i was HHOOOOKKKEDD!!!
But anyways. enough of my story.
This book i would have to say is the best, although if it was real life. i think i would have handled the boy situations a little rougherr [if thats even a word] but thats the only down side for me.
this book had me once i read the first sentence. i saw it in the bookstore and i couldnt wait to go home and read it. it took me 2 hours to finish it. since it was so compelling. there were a lot of problems in this book and an amazing SURPRISE ending. that i would have NEVER guessed. In this book the girls have to learn a little more a bout guys and there approaching strategies.
i love this book it IS AMAZING!

Massie and her friends are at it again! After the never ending search for the key, she finally gets access to the room... under one condition. Massie must get Skye the one thing she can't have, Chris Abeley. The Pretty Committee must also have dates to Skye's graduation party, or else, they will be forever known as The Cheetah Girls, but thanks to ESP, they can fix that in a second! Will Massie, Alicia, Dylan, Claire and Kristen be able to get Skye her date, get their dates, and have access to the room? Well you'll have to read the book to find out!

I have read all of the Clique books and think they are a pretty good series, but think that by the 8th and beyond, they aren't nearly as good.
This book is still worth reading, but if you don't enjoy books that don't leave you on the edge of your seat the WHOLE time, I wouldn't recommend it. Also, you REALLY should read the other Clique books in order before you read this one, just so you understand to the fullest extent.
I think Lisi Harrison is also a very wonderful, creative and funny author that writes great books, but these are pretty over priced and I would definitly recommmend borrowing from friends.

Have you ever wanted to read a book about real life situations and about what's going on in the world right now? If you do then Sealed with a Diss is perfect for you. It gives you a first hand look into the world of a clique. You won't be disappointed if you read this book. I'm sure you will love it!
In Sealed with a Diss, by Lisi Harrison, the Pretty Committee gets the key to the secret room that they shed blood, sweat, and mascara for. Then they figure out that before they can get the key they need to get hot dates to Skye Hamilton's big party. They also have to get Chris Abeley to be Skye's date for the party. If they don't get dates and get Chris to be Skye's date then the room will be taken away forever. While the other girls are finding dates Claire finds out that she might not be the only girl in Cam's life. Massie also finds out that Derrington is hiding something too. The secret room leads to more and more trouble. To find out what happens read the book.
I love this book because it keeps you guessing the whole time. You never know what might happen. You'll be asking so many questions in your head about what is going to happen the whole time while you're reading. There are so many cliffhangers that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The only thing I didn't like about the book was the ending. It wasn't one of the best cliffhangers and it didn't really leave me wanting more or wanting to read the next book right away. I hope you enjoy the book! I know I did and I'm sure you will too.

I really like this book series and I think Lisi Harrison did an awesome job but
when the books go on to the next levels it's kind of stupid. I mean why do
Claire and Massie have to fight so much? Then why can't they all (other then claire) just be
happy with the guys they date. I mean Massie accepted 2 invitations to a dance! Plus she
was so happy with Derrington and she messes it up so he dumps her! Then near the last book
Massie becomes poor?! What da heck she should not turn poor! Then in the very last book
she moves to London! Why does tpc have to eventually go their different ways! I don't
think she should have ended the book like that... I mean at least Massie got rich
again but in London?????? Seriously!? I think it starts to go downhill after book #7.
I do like the books but some of its kind of ridiculous. So I would give it 3.5 stars for the first #7 books and
2 stars for the rest.

This is the eighth novel in the very addicting CLIQUE series, all about the Pretty Committee in which Massie Block rules.

Massie won access to a secret room from the "alpha" eighth-grade clique, the DSL Daters, but she wants early access. To keep up her end of the deal, Massie has to get her ex-crush to go to the hottest party of the year with Skye, the "alpha" eighth grader. When the deal is made she gets a key -- if she fails, then she and the Pretty Committee lose the room and their social status for good.

Besides a date for Skye, all of the Pretty Committee members must bring a date to the party or the entire group is punished. How will the girls all find dates in time?

I have always really liked this series but some of the things about "alpha respect" that she gets from Skye seem a little far-fetched and, sometimes, a little ridiculous. Overall, though, this is still a fun series to read!
