Summary
Edit
Claire Lyons and her family move to Westchester from Orlando, Florida. Claire and her family will be staying at Massie's guest House, due to her parrents' lack of money. Claire meets Massie Block and she is thrilled to make a new friend. After all, she and Massie are the same age and will both be attending the prestigious Octavian Country Day. Unfortunately, Massie makes it clear that she wants nothing to do with Claire and that she has her own elite circle of friends. Massie is all about her girlfriends - Alicia Rivera, Dylan Marvil, and Kristen Gregory. Together, the four girls rule Octavian Country Day School as the Pretty Committee and are considered the most glamorous, popular, and envied seventh graders. Decked out in designer clothes, these girls consider shopping an art form and are quick to gossip and place their peers on the out list. Although Claire is desperate to fit in and become a part of Massie's group, she is brutally shunned by the girls. Massie makes it clear to her clique that Claire is a LBR (loser beyond repair). They engage in cruel tactics such as smears red paint on Claire's jeans, ignoring her presence, and throwing food at her. As Claire struggles to find a place for herself in her elite new surroundings she finds a way to turn the tables on Massie, Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen and create some friction in Massie's social world. Everything works out in the end.
