ALICIA by Lisi Harrison Category: Contemporary Age Recommendation: Grades 9+ Release Date: 6/3/08 Publisher: Poppy Reviewed by: Taylor Rector Rating: 5 Stars Even though ALICIA is the third book in THE CLIQUE SUMMER COLLECTION, I am yet to be bored by the series! Alicia is the character of the Clique who can stand out in a crowd. She goes to spend her summer without her parents in Spain, and she and Nina (who came to OCD in the series and caused a lot of havoc) create a lot of trouble. Alicia finds herself with a job she does not want, to pay for something that she should care about, but really doesn’t. And she is trying to land a spot in a music video for a local pop star. How does she do it all and who will she meet along the way? Alicia is a brilliant character because she is so real. She really cares about her family, and even though she gets herself into a few compromising positions, she plays them off very fashionably. That is the kind of character I root for. So get your beach towel and get ready to read this short but enthralling novel! |
