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.

The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything As a practicing psychologist who emphasizes positive psychology and as the author myself of a fictional read for girls and moms, The Truth (I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything) this book was fascinating. It brought back to me a part of myself that I had long forgotten. That is the part that looked at fashion magazines with my best girlfriend Jill for hours on end. We wanted with all our hearts and souls to look like the models, wear the clothes and live the life that the pictures suggested. The fact that all of that was simply impossible meant nothing at the time. We even created fantasy wardrobes that we described to each other, even though our own clothes were bought two or three times a year by sensible mothers who had the final word. So I think this book plays into that part of a young girl's development where she may need to fantasize not about fairy tales anymore but about herself as a wealthy girl, or a starlet, with every materialistic opportunity she could imagine. As a positive psychologist I encourage girls, tweens and teens not to focus on the externals of a starlet media culture. After all, if a girl like Massie really existed, would she be truly happy? We all know how quickly pedicures and fancy clothes mean nothing if we are not self developing and growing emotionally. In my book, The Truth (I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything) the girl has very little materially and few expectations in that direction. But she does have wisdom and she is kind to people, and she does make promises to live differently than her folks when she grows up. Girls fall in love with her, but they also fall in love with Mazzie. So I must conclude that both types of fictional characters are good as we go through the challenges of growing up. We stretch in so many directions as we move through the tween and teen years. And as long as we come back to a solid self, reading lots of books about different kinds of people and kids is good homework.

MASSIE (The Clique Summer Collection)

MASSIE kicks off the `hawtist' series of the summer, `The Clique Summer Collection.'
Finding herself kicked out of the exclusive Galwaugh Farms Riding Camp after her alpha ways go a little too far, Massie Block can't believe her parents are forcing her to get a job to pay them back. Can you say ewww? And even worse is when her mother tells her she can go work at the beach club. Argh, no thank you. Massie's desperate to find something that's more of a jobby - job and hobby as opposed to a straight summer job. And time is almost running out on her mother's week long deadline, until she reads an article in Teen Vogue about Be Pretty cosmetics and suddenly, Massie's found her jobby. Who better to turn LBRs into glam girls?
MASSIE is such a fun read and a great way to kick off `The Clique Summer Collection'. Without the other Pretty Committee members around, Massie is pretty well left on her own, hanging out with other GLUs (girls like us) until she finds herself abruptly kicked out of camp and back in the Hamptons for the summer with her parents. Turning the LBRs into glam girls should be easy, but not a lot of them are willing to listen to her salespitch. Until Massie decides to change things up and tell the truth the way she sees it. Suddenly she's the highest selling Be Pretty salesgirl ever.
Massie is truly hilarious. I loved the scene where she goes back to Frizzy Lindsey's and just basically barges in, ripping poor Lindsey's look to shreds. Suddenly though, Lindsey's transformed and willing to buy everything that Massie used on her.
While living in New York City, Lisi Harrison created and developed shows for MTV. She now resides in Laguna Beach, California where she is at work on her subsequent novel in the #1 national best selling CLIQUE series. [...]

Throughout the Clique series, Massie remains my favorite. Although she is mean-spirited, vindictive, and is a spoiled brat, you can't help but like her. She remains the star of the Clique books in my opinion; the antagonist and her horrible antics is what makes the books very difficult to put down. Looking forward to more Clique adventures starring Massie!

I was expecting more out of Lisi Harrison for this book.
it was okay, but not as good as dylan & kristen. Alicia's pretty much sucked too.
READ DYLAN AND KRISTEN!!

While trying to put seventh grade behind her --- and with her Pretty Committee friends spending their vacations elsewhere --- Massie Block has big summer plans of her own. As team captain of the Galwaugh Goddesses (aka the Galwaugh Girls) at the uber-exclusive Westchester sleepaway riding camp, Massie will do whatever it takes to come out on top. At stake: winning the sixth consecutive Galwaugh Farms Jump and Canter Competition.
To ensure victory --- and garner a cover shot on Horse & Rider magazine --- Massie comes up with a solution and bends the rules to the breaking point. But things get sticky after Massie's actions embarrass one of her teammates, and her plans slide downhill fast. After Massie's trick is upended, she is expelled from the prestigious riding school and sent home in disgrace.
Back at her parents' summer estate in Southampton, New York, she expects to find comfort in the form of sympathy and lots of retail therapy (aka shopping). But she is shocked by her parents' reaction. Rather than taking her side, they ground her. They also cancel her credit cards until she can find a way to reimburse them for the money they lost paying for the expensive camp. Massie realizes her parents are serious, and she must use her wits to find a way to earn enough money to repay them and get her credit cards reinstated.
Her solution? Find a summer job that will earn her lots of money, but a job that's fun --- more of a hobby than work. In Massie's words, a jobby. After she reads an ad for Be Pretty Cosmetics, she finds what she thinks is the perfect jobby. She embarks on a journey to transform wealthy plain Janes into Be Pretty gorgeous girls by selling them expensive cosmetics and beauty products.
Can Massie survive the summer with her jobby? Will she regain her parents' trust and respect? And will she ever get her credit cards back again? But more importantly, will she be able to get her hands on a pair of impossible-to-find, gold-framed D&G sunglasses?
In the designer-label, shop-till-you-drop world of Massie Block, she is the center of the universe. Like Massie, the very first installment in The Clique Summer Collection is as shallow as the children's section of a swimming pool, but it's also wildly entertaining and wicked fun.
