Bratfest at Tiffany's. Little Brown and Company. Harrison, Lisa. February 2008.
Pages: 227
Genre: young adult
Reading Level: 7
Synopsis of plot: The Clique are a group of wealthy, sophisticated suburban New York teens who, to me, seem to be 13 years old going on 25. These five friends are seen through the eyes of Clique leader Massie Block.
The Pretty Committee (PC) is OUT and the New Pretty Committee (NPC) is IN. Faced with an invasion of Briarwood boys on all girls' Octavian Country Day School's turf, Massie's alpha status dreams of eighth grade begin to fade like last year's fashions. Massie announces a boyfast; that is absolutely no flirting, no texting and definitely no crushing. The girls' friendships are put to the test as one of their own is expelled from the NPC. The girls learn how to balance their own sense of self in a new world full of crushes.
Massie Block: Undisputed leader of the PC/NPC. Can Massie stick to the boyfast herself or will she have to kick herself out of the exclusive group?
Alicia Rivera: Alicia is finally getting a chance with Josh Hotz, but will it all be ruined by Massie latest scheme? Or will she be caught?
Dylan Marvil: Dylan is ready to give up on boys. Will she be able to help the girls stay together?
Kristen Gregory: Kristen turned into a total surfer chick over the summer. Will the others approve?
Claire Lyons: Claire still cannot stop thinking about Cam. Exactly what she did all summer. But now he has a girlfriend, and that doesn't make her very happy. What will she do to get him attracted to her again?
Negative aspects: I feel that the author has risked alienating the average young female reader with all the talk of expensive Tiffany jewelry, Manolo Blahnik shoes and Channel handbags. In this book, if you don't have these items you are an LBR (loser beyond repair). I felt that that line of thinking could do some harm to the already fragile self-esteem of the average female middle-schooler, who might not realize that it is ok not to have the most expensive clothes and accessories. What you wear is not who you are!
Personal appraisal: I have been an avid reader since grade school, and this is just the type of book that I used to read. I really enjoyed this book. I felt that the author did a great job of illustrating, in all five characters, the age-appropriate insecurities as well as the thought and decision making processes that come with being a female in middle school.
Summary of Bratfest at Tiffany's (The Clique #9)
Massie Block: The Briarwood boys have invaded OCD and are taking over everything. Worse, the soccer boys have become so popular that the Pretty Committee's alpha status is in serious jeopardy. So Massie lays out a New Year-New Pretty Committee rule: Anyone caught crushing on a boy will be thrown out of the NPC-forever. But will she be able to follow her own decree when she sees that Derrington has ditched his shorts-obsession in favor of ah-dorable jeans?Alicia Rivera: Is the opposite of onboard with the boyfast. Her crush, the Ralph Lauren-luh-ving Josh Hotz, is more irresistible than crème brûlée fro-yo. But is he worth losing her spot in the NPC? And taking on the wrath of Massie?
Dylan Marvil: Is so ready for the boyfast. She's straightened her unruly red hair and permanently pressed boys out of her life. If only she could do the same with curly fries and caramel popcorn.
Kristen Gregory: Has traded her sporty-chic Pumas for Billabong board shorts and a shark tooth necklace. She claims she's sworn off boy-crushes, so what's with her Blue Crush makeover?
Claire Lyons: Spent all summer thinking about Cam's one blue eye and one green eye. But now he's moved on to a new girl faster than you can say cuh-yutest couple. At least Claire finally has a secure spot in the NPC-unless jealousy-flirting breaks the boyfast. . . .
The Clique: The only thing harder than getting in is staying in.
