Book Review: For everyone who loves The Clique
Summary: 5 Stars
When Alicia arrives in Barcelona, Spain, she is swept away with the sights, sounds and smells of her mother's native land. In the airport terminal, her model-gorgeous older twin cousins, Celia and Isobel, greet her enthusiastically, and she is genuinely happy to see them. But her 13-year-old cousin Nina, whose previous visit to America created huge problems with Alicia and her Pretty Committee friends, is not so enthusiastic --- and is not a welcome sight.
While in Spain, Alicia hopes to avoid Nina as much as possible. She looks forward to spending her summer shopping, clubbing and traipsing around with Celia and Isobel. She's even more excited when she reads an airport billboard announcing a competition to discover a "real Spanish beauty" to star in a music video. Alicia's mother is Spanish. Alicia is a good dancer and (she has to admit to herself) a beauty.
But being half-Spanish and half-American, Alicia doesn't seem totally comfortable in either culture. She hopes that being cast in the video will improve her status back home with Massie and the other Pretty Committee members; maybe Massie will even stop calling her Fannish (fake Spanish).
While trying to play the role of a real Spanish beauty, Alicia does her best to hide the fact that she's an American, especially when a fair-skinned British teenage boy strikes up a conversation with her in English. And cousin Nina is doing her best to ruin things as well. She shatters Alicia's self-confidence when she tells her that Celia and Isobel are just using her so they can wear her American designer-label wardrobe.
Hurt and angry, Alicia strikes back after noticing Nina wearing earrings that she stole from Alicia during her last visit to America. When the two teenagers get into a public scrap at a landmark hotel, things quickly get out of hand and they destroy an expensive statue. After Alicia's parents refuse to send a check to bail her out, she and Nina must work as maids to pay for the damages.
Instead of cleaning up on the competition, Alicia finds herself cleaning other peoples' towels. Can her Spanish vacation be rescued? And how will she pay for all the damage she has caused?
ALICIA is the third of five slim books about the members of the Pretty Committee. While the tone of the first three installments is playful and breezy, each one delivers a helpful and encouraging message for teenage girls. Alicia's story is as light and fluffy as cotton candy --- a welcome summer treat. Her message is that things aren't always what they seem, and sometimes fun and friends can be found when you least expect them.
