SuitabookRevenge of the Wannabes (Clique)
Lisi Harrison
- Reading
- Read alongside a conversation about credit, rivalry and belonging. Pause when a character seeks social advantage, asking what they want, who may be affected and whether the response matches the original grievance.
- Themes
- Recognition and fairness: Massie believes Alicia and Olivia have received attention for a uniform-design victory that should have been hers. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Belonging and status: The girls operate within an elite suburban middle-school clique where staying included is presented as difficult. The setting explains a status-conscious social environment; it does not establish whether the narrative endorses, criticises or normalises its values.
- Worth knowing
- The book foregrounds anger, revenge and social competition, including a character described as ready to retaliate. The available ending and the consequences of these choices are unclear, so readers may respond differently to its moral balance.
