Little Willow's Book Bag
This Week's Picks According to Kit by Eugenie Doyle
For Your Younger Sister Snowfall Surprise by Jane B. Mason and Sarah Hines Stephens Alphas by Lisi Harrison
Alphas is the start of a new series. It has some Clique-ish vernacular and similar writing style, but the girls are less catty, making it more like The Ashleys (by Melissa de la Cruz) yet at a futuristic high-pressure academy with 100 extremely talented (performing arts, visual arts, culinary arts, athletics, you name it) girls.

Ooh, what's Alphas like? In line with the Clique books?

Ooh, that sounds really fascinating!
