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! ( )

I think that now that I have read the summer collection that I like it better than the regular seires. Alicia goes to spain for the summer and finds out she has to share a room with her nasty cousin Nina. When she gets to Spain she thinks that she will be an alpha with her two twin cousins Isobel and Cellia. She soon finds out they are kind of mean but they still take her to partys and things. A very mysterious celeberty is holding tryouts to be in his music video. Since alicia broke a statue at one of the partys she has to pay it off by working at a hotel. She sees a guy from britan and she loves him but she is really searching for a true spanish. In the end of the book she finds out that the britan boy that she saw is really the mysterious celeberty! ( )

Alicia takes on Mission Spalfa: Spanish Alpha! Back in Spain to visit her relatives, Alicia discovers that Spain's newest pop sensation ¡Ignacio! is searching for a true Spanish beauty to star in his new hit-single video. She can't believe her luck! If Alicia is cast as a true Spanish beauty, Massie will never call her fake-Spanish again. The only trick: She'll have to beat her super-bonita cousins to win the coveted spot. Adios, bimbos!
