Payal Otia Anderson, Period 4 English 9CP October 14,2013 The Clique ”Massie” The Clique is written by Lisi Harrison. And it starts when Massie Block is getting ready for Galwaugh farms horseback riding competition, JACC. After winning this contest for six years, Massie’s hopes should be high—But with Selma Gallman a.k.a Fall-a Abdul on her team, things are looking low. Things seem to reach an all-time low for Massie when Jacqueline Dyer, one of her teammates, changes the team name without her permission. In a moment of depression, Massie uses leather-glue to glue Selma to her saddle. Before Massie can ride, however, this is revealed. After Selma’s grandfather is revealed to own the stable,…show more content…
As a punishment for her horrible sportsmanship, Massie's parents, William block and Kendra block cancel her credit card so she can pay them for the riding camp. Kendra suggests that Massie work as a babysitter, like Kendra's friend Trini Neufeld's daughter, Ellie. Massie, horrified at the suggestion of working at a job that is that LBRish, asks her mom if she can choose her own "jobby"--a job-hobby. Kendra agrees. While flipping through a magazine one day, Massie sees a Opportunity being a Be Pretty Cosmetics salesgirl. If she becomes one of the top sellers, she can get a purple streak, which entitles her to get anything that she, wants with no wait. The next day, she goes to the Be Pretty headquarters in New York City and picks up her starter kit.

She proudly walks out of the store, declaring that purple and gold are a winning combination. I absolutely love this author and all of her series. I cannot wait to read about Dylan, Alicia, Claire, and Kristen! I really liked all the twists and turns in this book. Massie is so devious when it comes to selling things and getting a job. Or what she calls a "jobby". This book was amazing. I also really liked how it was only about her. She was the center of attention, like she always wants! I also really like how Massie always gets what she wants and never lets those chances get away from her, but in this book she walked away from the TV interview and her jobby! I honestly didn’t dislike anything about this book. It was wonderful. It explained Massie's summer life, in a nutshell. This entire book surprised me! I never even thought half of the stuff that happened in the book, would have happened! It really surprised me in the beginning with all of the stuff that happened with the horse! Overall, this book was great! Word count:
