1. Massie, Dylan, Kristen, Alicia, and Claire have just gotten invited to meet Abby Boyd and Hadley Durk. They are all very, very excited because these celebrites are their favorite teen idols. Recently, Hadley and Abby were in a huge fight and the girls are very surprised that they are going to be on Dylan's mom's talk show, The Daily Grind. They have just gotten out of Massie's car after taking a billion pictures of the limos in which Abby and Hadley arrived in. Claire is getting annoyed/upset because when she's around the Pretty Committee, Massie acts really mean and is always forcing Claire to try constantly to be perfect. When Claire and Massie are alone, Massie and her talk like normal friends. Claire is wondering to herself; why can't i just be in for good?



2. I am enjoying this book so far. I am not very far into it so it is kind of hard to tell. I have liked the past five books and this is the sixth in the series. After the girls got expelled OCD in the last book I haven't liked it as much. It is the first forty pages of this though, so again, i'm not really sure.



3. I think the theme in this book is friendship. The whole book is all about these five very stylish and slightly spoiled friends, and they are constantly going through fights/arguements between getting along perfectly. I see friendship in this everywhere. Sometimes they are good friends and stand up for eachother, but other times, they are really mean to eachother when something doesn't go their way.



4. My favorite character is Claire because she is way more down to earth than the rest of them. often, she is disgusted by the way the girls treat others, and by how spoiled they are. Her family recently moved to Westchester when her dad got a job offer. They have been living in the Block's guesthouse since. Claire's parents do not have a surplus of money like Massie, Alicia, and Dylan's families. They do not give their daughter everything, do not let her boss them around, and most of all do not let her be mean. I think that because of this, Claire is a better person, and a bit more normal.



5. My least favorite character is Todd, Claire's slightly sick minded younger brother. he is probably in about fourth or fifth grade and basically dedicates his like to driving his sister and her friends crazy. He is my least favorite because he is obnoxious, gross, annoying, and very, very, nosy. For example, he puts spy cameras in Massie's shower, and attempts to spy on Massie and her mother in the hottub. I would hate to have a brother like todd and overall, he really, really bugs me.

6. My prediction of what will happen next is that the day at the studio will not go as planned. I am guessing that something will happen that will lead to what the rest of the book is about. Maybe the actresses that they are about to meet end up being very bratty, no at all like the celebrity magazines portray them as. Maybe Massie and her friends will realize that the teen celebrities are just like normal teen, except thay happen to be very good at something, and have some sort of special talent. All in all, I think the specially planned day in the studio will have a disasterous ending.
