Product Description
Massie gets BE-yoo-tiful: After Massie Block gets kicked off her high horse and out of her ultra exclusive Westchester riding camp, her parents force her to do the unthinkable-find a summer job. Not one for dog-walking or brat-sitting, Massie comes up with the ah-bvious solution: She'll be a sales rep for the cosmetics brand Be Pretty. Massie fully hearts her new role as fairy gawdmother of makeup-until she discovers transforming LBRs into glam-girls takes more than a swish of her royal purple mascara wand.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect beach read, even for 29-year-olds!, April 11, 2008

By	Gen of www.LibraryOfEden.com (California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, May 6, 2008

By	TeensReadToo.com "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews

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!

A Kid's Review

Lisi Harrison has done it again! Massie is a member of the best riding camp in the United States, and it's time for competition. Her team will win, right? NOPE! Not with Fall-a Abul on her team. When Massie glues this girl to her saddle, and finds out who she REALLY is, it's bye bye riding camp. Massie is stuck paying for the camp, but, like a true alpha, she finds a stylish way to do it. (a "jobby", or job hobby) World, here comes Massie Block, make-up sales-person.
