Book Description

Publication Date: September 30, 2007 | Series: Clique

A tragic haircut leaves Kristen looking manlier than a New York Jets linebacker. Will she be condemned to a season of trying to find cute hats when, as everyone knows, hats are so over? Meanwhile, Claire got everything she wants -- new camo Converse high-tops, bag and bags of gummies, and best of all, her first ever cell phone, from Massie. Although Claire's now an official member of the Clique, presents don't matter to her -- all she really wants is her first kiss from Cam, of course!

This review is from: The Pretty Committee Strikes Back (The Clique, No. 5) (Paperback)

When Mr. Myner, the too-good-looking geography teacher at OCD announces a three day trip to the middle of no where, Massie is mildly excited. There's only one thing that catches her attention- the Briarwood boys are coming too! Massie decides this is her chance to impress Derrington- and have her first kiss. So as to be sure the other girls don't think she's not experienced, she starts MUCK (Massie's Undergound Club for Kissing). Three LBR's, Alexandra, Livvy, and Carrie, join the group, along with Layne and the rest of the Pretty Comitee. Honestly, Massie has no idea how to kiss, and puts it off as long as possible. When they get to the mountains, Dylan's mom starts "hanging out" with Mr. Myner. It creeps all the girls out, but not as much as the fact that Mr. Myner has confiscated all of their electronics and most of the wardrobes.
Claie is still on the outs with Cam, after he caught her kissing Josh, Alicia's crush. She goes to desperate measures to win him back, and succeeds- but later, catches him about to kiss Alicia. She'd found out about the kiss between Josh and Claire, and was mad. Meanwhile, Massie gets her first kiss with Derrington- in an unexpected way. But when the girls walk in on Dylans mom kissing Mr. Myner the gates break - and it all comes out. A shocking end leaves the reader yearning for the next book. This is a great book-one of the best, that keeps Clique fans waiting for more!

This review is from: The Pretty Committee Strikes Back (The Clique, No. 5) (Paperback)

first of all, amazon.com has made a mistake - their description of the pretty committee strikes back is actually the description of the fourth novel, invasion of the boy-snatchers.

i thought i'd better write a review after seeing all the useless reviews the other people wrote.

the pretty committee - massie, alicia, dylan, kristen, and ugh - Claire (my least favorite character) is heading to Lake Placid for a three-day school trip to learn how to survive in the wild - not that they actually care about it, what they are focused on it spending the three days with their crushes from Briarwood Academy. However, there are some major uh-ohs

- Ms. Marvil, Dylan's celebrity mom, is going with them - and she's hot for their handsome geography teacher!

- kristen's parents refuse to pay the 1,500 dollar pricetag for the trip

- claire is desperate to win back Cam, who stumbled upon her kissing Josh Hotz in the last novel. it doesnt help that Josh continues to flirt with her in front of Cam.

- Alicia has a major crush on Josh, and is determined to crush the girl he likes, whoever that may be.

- Massie has started a MUCK club (Massie's Underground Clinic for Kissing) in the hopes of winning back her status after Alicia's notorious cousin Nina destroyed it in the previous book. the problem is, Massie is teaching the girls to kiss. but she's never actually kissed herself. she spends time dodging questions about her kissing relationship with derrington and derrington himself, whenever he wants a kiss. when will she and derrington finally do it?


funny, and a good light read, the pretty committee strikes back is an pleasant time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ah-Mazing Romance and Misunderstanding in Lake Placid, March 4, 2006

Molly Sinclair "aquababe" (California BABY!!) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Pretty Committee Strikes Back (The Clique, No. 5) (Paperback)

This Book is ah-mazing!!!I bought this book today and i finished this book today also. Thats how great it is!!! it takes place in a really upscale camp in Lake Placid where the 7th grade girls of OCD and the 7th grade boys of Briarwood good to spend presidents day weekend. They spend a week there overall.Claire is totally distraught over her messed up relationship with Cam. But there are a lot of bumps in this road as Claire discovers an enemy wihtin the Pretty Comittee. Massie is determined to beat Nina in terms of "experience" so she creates M.assie's U.nderground C.linic for K.issing or MUCK. She also plans to take it to the next level with Derrington. Dylan has a slim new bod and a very embarrassing mom. Kristen doesn't have enough money to go on the trip and is forced to stay in westchester, or is she?? And Alicia is obsessing over Josh Hotz, her new crush, but who is he drooling over? And all of this funnels to the end of the book, the climax. This climax is so dramatic and unexpected and i am so excited to see what is going to happen to the pretty commitee in Dial L for Loser, which is scheduled to come out in August (can i wait that long). I realy liked how Claire gained confidence in this book but Massie was really selfish in parts, which is kind of typical. I love reading these kind of books because they are really light and airy in a way. Also, i love reading these books because i can take a break from the serious and sad books that are assigned in literature class. And, love reading about all the designer clothes!!
