    Lauren Page thinks she's finally back in with The Ashleys. All she had to do was ask them to be part of her
    group on the new reality TV show, Preteen Queen. But the launch of a website that's used to rank the girls at
    school causes more problems, especially when secrets are being withheld.

    Lauren hadn't expected her life to be perfect once she was in with the The Ashleys, but she'd never suspected all
    that went on behind the scenes.

    So Lauren's new plan is to rank with The Ashleys on the site. Her long-term plan, after all, is to take these girls
    down and make the 7th grade a better place to be. She soon realizes, though, that there's a reason the Ashleys
    have stayed at the top for so long -- and they're doing everything possible to stay there.

    I found the second book in THE ASHLEYS series to be better than the first. Ashleyrank.com was a unique idea
    and, though this series is quite a bit like THE CLIQUE, it put a unique spin on the book. A lot of the fashion
    references were wasted on me, but I still enjoyed this story and I will be waiting for the rest of the books in the
    series.
