The Mosts
Madeline’s summer transformation results in a hot boyfriend and entrée into the Mosts, the A-list clique whose members are always voted most beautiful/popular/funny. After Madeline’s boyfriend moves away, she begins mentoring three so-called Most-Nots (most in need of a makeover/therapist/basic grooming) and discovers that her status in the Mosts is contingent on pleasing Caro, the Mosts’ Most. What happens if Madeline has a mind of her own? This is quintessential mean-girl chick-lit material that satisfies without resorting to sex or cursing. A refreshing change from edgier fare, with realistic characters and even a few sympathetic adults on the sidelines. Grades 6-9. --Cindy Welch
