These Boots Are Made for Stalking [With Tattoos]

This isn't the type of book I would read, but I got this for my daughter. As soon as she got the book, she started reading it. I could tell she was enjoying it, and is already talking about the next book in the sequel. It served it's purpose in my eyes.

After their falling out over Alicia Rivera's attempt at alpha status as leader of the now-dissolved boy-girl Soul-M8s clique, the Pretty Committee is back "together and stronger than Zac and Vanessa." All is forgiven, and Massie Block is firmly in control of her PC alpha status. And sensitive, ever-loyal Claire Lyons has kept secret Massie's desperate measures to remain on top. With the PC back under her thumb, Massie basks in the glow of the crush of her dreams, Landon Chase. Landon is a public-school, dog-loving freshman whose pooch, Bark Obama, is a perfect match for Massie's pug, Bean. But to what lengths will Massie go in order to keep Landon's attention and make him her boyfriend? Halloween is a special time for Massie and the PC, and it's not just because of the candy --- well, maybe it's about the candy a little. With Landon otherwise occupied overseeing playtime for Bark and Bean, Massie keeps tabs on them through a hidden camera attached to a charm on Bean's collar. Before heading out to collect their Halloween booty, Massie and the PC raid Dylan Marvil's mom's closet searching for perfect accessories for their to-die-for costumes. After combining designer and vintage pieces to complete their trampire (tramp + vampire) look, they traverse the exclusive Westchester neighborhood in search of gourmet treats. All goes well until they reach an unlit and undecorated house. Massie wants to move on, but Claire invokes the No House Left Behind motto, which means they are to hit every house, every year, with no exceptions. After the trick-or-treaters peek inside the dark house, they discover an unexpected scene inside. The relationship between Massie and Landon turns frosty after she accidentally injures Bark, and she'll do anything to get back in Landon's good graces. To make amends for hurting Bark, and to upgrade the other members of the PC to ninth-grade crushes, Massie invites Landon and his friends to a spa party at the Block Estate. The idea of ditching their eighth-grade crushes for ninth-graders doesn't appeal to everyone. At least one of the PC members is determined to embark on a path of her own, keep her old crush, and make new friends, out from under Massie's control and without her approval. Will this attempt to become independent backfire, or will the feeling of breaking free and getting out from under Massie's boot make being ostracized from the PC worthwhile? THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR STALKING is a smart and sassy YA novel that is peppered with Lisi Harrison's signature references to the latest trends in fashion, technology and entertainment. She realistically portrays the tender age when girls are on the cusp of becoming young women and their struggles to become self-assured and comfortable in their own skin. This latest Clique installment has a positive message wrapped in an entertaining book.

I loved reading this book! I have to admit the clique series can be a bit shallow at times but in this book Massie actually showed some humanity. I would recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed any of the poppy series.

This book was amazing. I love how it wasnt very shallow or superficial like this series sometimes can be. I really loved that Massie became a real person. The ending had meon the edge of my seat!

I am a middle school student and my friends gave me these books right before I started middle school. They really spoke to me because in middle school there is a constant preasure of wanting to be perfect and trying to fit in. Sometimes there are mean girls and the clique series helped me to understand how tough it can get and how to work through these problems. Lisi Harrision is a genius and creative writer.
