1. In this book, there are a lot of things going on. This is the 5th book in the Clique series, and I am enjoying it so far. It is about 5 girls from the Octavian Country Day School that is taking a field trip to Lake Placid. Claire Lyon finally gets into the "pretty committee" which she has been trying to convince Massie Block that she should be part of. Claire still isn't completely sure if she is totally in, or if they are just going to tell her that she is in, but then make fun of her behind her back. In the "clique", it consists of Kristen Gregory, Dylan Marvil, Alicia Rivera, Claire Lyons, and Massie Block the leader of the group. When they find out about this field trip, they get very exited. Unfortunately, Kristin finds out that she can't afford to go on this trip, so she has to stay home all by herself while everyone goes. Claire has a boyfriend named Cam who is avoiding her because he heard that she kissed another boy. Massie is having boy problems herself because she lied to everyone saying that she had kissed her boyfriend, so they want to learn how. She volunteers to teach a kissing clinic, but doesn't know how. Then Derrick Massie's boyfriend breaks up with Massie because she won't kiss him but is telling everyone that she has. "

2. So far into the book, I am enjoying it. It is mainly for girls to read, because it is explained from a girl's point of view about boys. There are a lot of problems going on in the book, which is why it is good. There aren't really that much boring parts, because of all of the conflicts they have. Overall, this book is pretty good.

3. So far into the book, the main theme that I have noticed a lot is friendship. The friendships are with both girls and boys. Massie and Claire both have there own boyfriends, names Derrick and Cam, and those are two examples of friendships. Also another big friendship is between 5 girls. They are all in a "clique", which they are all friends. That is another big friendship that I read a lot in the book.

4. My favorite character is Claire Lyon. She is my favorite character, because I know her a lot since she is one of the main characters. I didn't choose Massie Block as my favorite character, because she lies to everyone saying that she has kissed her boyfriend, even though she didn't, and she will most likely get in trouble when someone finds out that she was lying. On the other hand, Claire doesn't lie to her friends about anything, and she is nice and helpful. She cares about her boyfriend, and she tries to stop a rumor that goes around the school all the way to her boyfriend that is that Claire kissed another guy. That is why Claire Lyon is my favorite character in the book.

5. My least favorite character is Massie Block, even though she is one of the main characters in the book. She is my least favorite because she always lies to everyone to make herself look and feel good. She lies that she has kissed her boyfriend even though she hasn't which will probably start a big fight, and everyone will hate her.

6. Next in the book, I think that Massie Block will get caught for lying to everybody in the school, and trying to make her own group about how to kiss, and she hasn't even kissed anyone. She told everyone that she knows how to kiss, which is why they believed her, and they are going to attend the clinic that Massie is holding. Massie will eventually have to give up, and they will find out that she has never kissed someone, and that will cause a fight. Massie will be hated for a long time by everyone, and that will not be good. That is what I think is going to happen next in this book.
