Claire Lyons is the new girl at Octavian Country Day School, an exclusive private school in Westchester County, New York. But Claire is totally unprepared for the social (and fashion) demands of her new classmates. To make matters worse, Claire's family is living in the guesthouse of one Massie Block, the queen supreme of her new school! And Massie couldn't be less thrilled with the new squatter on her family's estate. Does Claire have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the "it" girl in her school?
There honestly isn't much that I can say about this, since this is basically The Clique, in another format. I loved the illustrations, and made the story more appealing, since there were also some visuals.
This isn't necessarily a "must-have" for fans of The Clique, but you've got nothing to lose if you try it out. There was an alternate scene at the end, but the storyline was relatively the same. A few infamous quotes were lost in the transition for novel, to graphic novel, so it wasn't as appealing, but it was good all the same.
I don't recommend reading this before the actual novel.
Likes: Illustrations. (LOL, that looks so weird).
Dislikes: Some quotes were missing.
