To introduce Lisi Harrison, author of the controversially snarly and hilarious series The Clique (newest edition, #6: Dial L for Loser, just sauntered onto the shelves), we thought it best to let this fan who posted on Amazon speak:
Being 13 and one of the self-proclaimed biggest fans of the Clique series, I would say that this one (#6) did not fail me at all! I mean, being from a part of California that's actually (gasp!) not Los Angeles, Laguna Beach, Orange County, or Beverly Hills, I really don't like reading books that talk about L.A., but, being a Clique lover, I just had to read it. I hearted it! People that don't like it most likely don't have any of these three things: style, imagination, or fun.
Hey, absolutely, Allison of California! So we dialed L for Lisi, she answered, and here's the result:
Who is your favorite writer that most people have never heard of?
Every girl that has written me fan mail. Their letters are hilarious, honest, creative and sweet. They keep me going.
What kid or teen books rocked your world growing up?
Harriet The Spy by Louise Fitzhugh - Inspired me to become a writer. And taught me how much fun it can be to observe the people around you.
A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'engle - Showed me the power of imagination.
Nancy Drew by-Carolyn G. Keene -Made me want to have a boy's name (how cool is the name George for a girl???)
What one thing do you wish you could say to your 15-year-old self?
Don't smoke. Trust me you will want to quit eventually and when you do you will gain 15 pounds, cry for weeks and curse the day you ever started. (FYI- I haven't had a cigarette in 8 years. YAY me!
Your life is a TV series. Name the theme song.
A mash-up of Material Girl by Madonna and Free To Be...You and Me
Burger-flippers want to know: have you ever had a job that required you to wear a geeky uniform? Details, please!
When I first started at MTV my old boss made me get inside a Butt-Head costume (as in Beavis and Butt-Head) and march in a parade through Aspen, Co. People were hanging out on balconies whipping snowballs at my massive head and it kept tipping over. Eventually two big dudes had to walk beside me to keep me from losing my balance and and eating pavement.
We'd like to name a burger in your honor. What kind of fixins should it have?
Mac & Cheese with ketchup. Call it the Mac & Cheeseburger.
Thanks Lisi!

Lisi, i luv you're clique series. my favorite so far is Best Friends For Never. just letting u know that for skool my class is doing a project about our favorite author, and i chose u. I know there isn't a movie yet but when there is i'm sure i'll luv that too.
Posted by: Karolyna | January 13, 2007 at 04:29 PM
Your books are cool I must say but the last book to me was very dissapointing because al your other books relate to me and my friends they had a theme but this one was just like a fantasy not everyday do you see 3 random girls go to hollywood?
Posted by: Kayla | January 14, 2007 at 04:24 PM
I am totally with Kayla! It lost the flare that the other books had, and it's the truth: there is no such thing as getting randomly whisked away to Hollywood, having all your dreams come true w/o even trying! To tell you the truth, I liked this book, but it was lacking in the area of "relating o the reader" but don't get me wrong Lisi, I heart heart heart <3 your books. period. the end. no questions asked.
Posted by: hannahbanana | January 18, 2007 at 03:37 PM
I love Cam in the books! He is soooo sweet!!! I love the romantic scences in all the books! Lisa I was just wondering if there will be anything in the future with Cam and Claire. Also my fave book so far is The Pretty Committee Strikes Back! I have read all of the books and am all most done with "Dial L For Loser".
Posted by: Cam Lover | January 21, 2007 at 11:55 AM
hey i <3 the clique series! i was just wondering if im too late to find out about the auditions for the movie. email me at goldilax52@verizon.net for any info! thanks.
Posted by: kcutie | January 26, 2007 at 08:04 PM
I just finished the 6th book "dial L for loser" its great! Cant wait for (maybe a) movie!! Still and always will be *Cam Lover*
Posted by: Cam Lover | January 29, 2007 at 04:27 PM
ok these books r awesome, but not that real. I live in westchester and its SO not that rich and snobby. i mean yah i have a pool and a driver but puh-lease....
but I HEART THEM ANYWAY!

Posted by: emily | February 01, 2007 at 04:42 PM
oh and kayla i agree, its not THAT uncommon but for it to happen like that, NO WAY! seriously ppl
Posted by: emily | February 01, 2007 at 04:44 PM
if theres a movie i could totally be dylan cuz my red hair but im not fat lol...
Posted by: emily | February 01, 2007 at 04:47 PM
If I was any of the movies I would have to be Claire. Because my hair is blonde and some times I can dress like a nerd. And I can fire back a attitude like sometimes she does with Massie.
Posted by: Cam Lover | February 03, 2007 at 10:40 AM
