The Clique by Lisi Harrison
by Sam Arnold-Boyd on Oct.24, 2011, under Real life, Romance, Student Reviews, Videos
Who would like this book? I think that people who like reading about teen drama would really enjoy The Clique!
Why? This story is about a dramatic, rich and gorgeous girl (Massie) who lives in a huge house. One of her dad’s old friends just moved to their city. Him, his wife, their son Todd and their daughter Claire, who is Massie’s age, don’t have a place to stay yet so Massie’s family lets his family stay in their guest house. Massie is not very excited about it at all. So when the family finally moves into their guest house, Massie starts lots and lots of drama with Claire. Massie couldn’t even give Claire a chance. Why not? Because Claire was not as rich, and she didn’t have the nicest clothes in the world, so Massie thought that this was an excuse to be totally mean to Claire and even tell her friends to not talk to Claire and of course not even be nice to her. But this didn’t stop Claire from getting revenge. I love this book, do you want to see how Claire gets back at Massie? Then read this book!

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
by Sam Arnold-Boyd on Oct.11, 2011, under Real life, Romance, Student Reviews, Videos
Who would like this book? I think people looking for a more mature romance/drama would like this book. Probably not the best book for someone who likes comedy or action books.
Why? This book is about Ronnie, a rebellious 17-year-old girl from New York City, who is spending the summer with her dad in North Carolina (who she hasn’t spoken to in three years). She was dreading it at first but it ended up being the best summer of her life. At the beginning of the summer, she was rude and selfish and didn’t want to talk to anyone… Then she met Will. He definitely wasn’t the type of guy she would usually want to talk to, but ended up falling for him anyways. This is a very intense and emotional book. You might have seen the movie with Miley Cyrus, but even if you have, it’s definitely worth the read.

Airhead by Meg Cabot
by Sam Arnold-Boyd on Sep.29, 2011, under Real life, Student Reviews, Videos, YRCA
Who would like this book? Girls who like fashion and geeky stuff.
Why? Emerson Watts doesn’t like fashion and likes to play computer games. Emerson’s little sister wants to go to the grand opening of the Stark megastore and her mom said Emerson had to take her. While they’re there, Emerson’s sister wants an autograph from Nikki Howard, but the TV is about to collapse on them so she pushes her sister out of the way. The TV tumbles on her and Nikki Howard, and Emerson’s spirit goes into Nikki’s body. There are a lot of surprises as Emerson gets used to being a model. I couldn’t put it down, so I think you’ll like it too.

Monster High by Lisi Harrison
by Sam Arnold-Boyd on Sep.25, 2011, under Bullying, Fantasy, Horror, Real life, Student Reviews, Videos
Who would like this book? Someone who likes freaky, but girly books.
Why? What if you thought you had a completely normal life, but your parents told you that your father created you out of dead body parts? This, oddly enough, is what happens to 15-day-old Frankie, now a student at Monster High.
When a little mishap in the cafeteria turns to pure hatred to one of those girls, the popular girls are totally against poor Melody. a beautiful girl who is new to this school.
These girls find that those mean popular girls are hiding a very dark, scary, chic secret. Read “Monster High” if you want to know the rest!
