Title: Invasion of the Boy Snatchers, A Clique Novel
Author: Lisi Harrison
Review: Invasion of the Boy Snatchers by Lisi Harrison was a book all about girls & guys "interacting". This is the 4th book in the "clique" series. The four main characters are Massie, Claire, Kristen, Dylan, and Alicia. These four girls are part of "the Clique". In this book Alsicia's cousin, Nina comes from Spain to visit and is "hot" according to all the boys. She attempts to steal the clique's boyfriends and crushes. I liked this book because it is about topics I like, love, and the reality of life and cliques. Read this book to find out if Nina steals all the boys or if the clique can get rid of her once and for all!...Link to catalog

Title: Pygmalion
Author: George Bernard Shaw
Review: Eliza Doolittle is a Cockney flower girl living in England during the 20th century. Her Cockney accent prevents her from becoming a member of the upper class, but that changes when Henry Doolittle, a professor of phonetics, makes a bet with Colonel Pickering to pass Eliza off as a lady. The play was a little short, but humorous and entertaining nonetheless. Anyone who is fond of the English Cockney accent will find this play enjoyable. ...Link to catalog
