The Clique by Lisi Harrison

The Clique by Lisi Harrison is about Massie, a 7th grader who attends the elite Octavian Country Day School. Her life revolves around shopping for and wearing the latest fashions, teen magazines, and her three BFF's, Dylan, Alicia, and Kristin. Her life is turned upside down when her father's old friend and his family move into their guest house while they look for a place of their own. Claire is also a 7th grader who now attends OCD, but she is completely out of place. She does not fit in with the rich and snobby girls who go to her school, much less the most popular one, Massie, despite how much their parents try to push them together. Massie and her pack are relentless in how mean they are to Claire, but in the end Claire finds some ways to get back at them.

This series is very popular with the girls at my school. I can understand why! The girls in this novel face the same types of issues as girls everywhere - crushes, cliques, mean girls, fitting in, grades, etc.
