Candace is queen bee at her school. Darcy is her best friend and has been for years. Brianna and Renee are part of the clique, and so is the new girl - Maya. Until she isn't anymore, dumped cruelly by Candace and Darcy. Brianna and Renee are the next to go. ( )

This movie is great for teenage girls. It relates well the middle school level girls. It has a great depiction of who your real friends are. Popular vs. the real thing. ( )

This is the story of 5 middle school girls who were a tight clique, until Candace, the "leader", decides to snub one of the other girls. It is such a true portrayal of middle school friendships between girls. The other girls go along with Candace so that they are not shunned too, although none of them know why Maya is being kicked out of the group. With each chapter written from a different girls' point of view, the book shows how it feels to be each of the girls and how they feel about the situation. In the end, the problems are not resolved but it is not an unhappy ending either. Again, typical of middle school girls. I recommend this book to all middle school girls! ( )

I thought this was probably the most realistic book I've ever read about all of the drama and cruelty middle school girls create. I think every girl can identify with at least one of the characters. Every school has a Candace - a girl that all of the other girls envy and want to be friends with, but really is a snobby, selfish girl who is a terrible friend. Everyone has seen Maya and Brianna - girls that are now shunned by their "group" and are scared to be alone for the fear of what the other girls will say to them next. Hopefully everyone also knows a Renee - a genuine, nice girl who doesn't put up with all of the snobbiness of the "leader". This book was very entertaining. I think it's a good one for every young girl to read. Girls that age tend to turn on each other for any little thing and I think this book can help them to see that they aren't alone. It was a great read. Not for the younger grades, but great for middle schoolers. ( )

The story five friends (all girls) from each's point of view. Typical middle school mean girl type of story. ( )
