The Lessons to be Taught

Authors note- The Clique and Invasion of the Boy Snatchers are two of the 18 books in The Clique series that are similar and different at the same time. Also with lesson to learn.

There are so many cliques in school, especially middle school and high school. In school, there are the geeks, skater dudes, and of course the cool kids. Everyone wants to be a cool kid or at least wants to hang out with those cool kids. This series tells more and more lessons as you read more books. The books are similar, but different at the same time. The Clique and Invasion of the Boy Snatchers are two of the 18 books that are different, but similar.

Both of these books tell different stories, but are related to another. The Clique is about four girls. Their names are Alicia Rivera, Dylan Marvil, Kristen Gregory, and Massie Block. They all are best friends. A new girl named Claire Lyons comes to town. Claire knows nothing about Westchester. She thinks as if her and Massie will be best friends, but to Massie, that will never happen.  Massie gets Claire angry, so she takes revenge on her. On Massie's computer, she sneaks onto her IM and talks to Massie's friends in a bad way. Next day, Massie's friends come storming in and yelling at her for what Claire said. All of them decided to let Claire in the clique and kick Massie out. Kristen left something at Massie's house, so she goes to pick it up. Massie and Kristen start talking about the night when Claire was chatting them. Then, they found out that Claire was the one who was chatting them and being mean to them. If I were Massie, Kristen, Alicia, and Dylan, I would be furious with Claire and they were. At the end, they become friends.
Since they became friends, the book Invasion of the Boy Snatchers is a little different from The Clique. Invasion of the Boy snatchers is about Alicia's cousin, Nina, who comes and decides to start even more drama a OCD. Especially since the OCD'S Valentine's Day Dance is coming up and Massie wants to win the cupid award badly. Nina tries to steal Cam away from Claire, Darrington away from Massie, and Josh away from Alicia. The girls didn't know why the boys were ignoring them.  Massie, Claire, and Alicia were  getting angry because they didn't know why they were ignoring them. She and her friends were realizing that they had things that were gone missing. They didn't know who stole their things. Until Alicia, Claire, and Massie sneak into the boy's locker room and find something strange in Josh's locker. A strange note and then they found out that Nina was stealing everything. Soon at the end, they found out why the boys were ignoring the girls. 

These two books and the whole series definitely tells lots of lesson. A couple that I learned was that we shouldn’t always hang out with the same people all the time. We should talk to other people too. Another lesson that I learned is that I shouldn't take revenge on people I get mad at. I should just try to forgive them. Many people learn from these books, just like me. As soon as you read the first book, you will get hooked onto this series.
