I loved this book as a kid and was very sad that the sequel never came out. Re-read it recently and it's basically Mean Girls: The Graphic Novel, which is fine except that it's just a little too short. It was a fun trip down memory lane.
Similar to “Mean Girls”, this is a story about cliques, popularity, and how nasty girls can be. Haley Madison is moving to a new school and is determined not to be the geek she was in her old middle school. She succeeds in joining the “Bee Hive”, the popular girl group at school, with only minor problems in controlling her special psychokinetic powers. But soon another new girl arrives, coincidentally with the same psychokinetic powers, and then the power struggle begins since there is only room...
Poor Haley. She's a loser at her school, people throw things at her at lunch, and to top it all off, she's got psychokinesis -- she can move things with her mind. Thus, accidents literally follow her wherever she goes. But she has a new chance at a new school, and she's determined to reinvent herself as popular, no matter what it takes. And it works! Her new clothes and self-control over her power get her noticed by "The Hive," the four most popular girls in school. Haley's on top of the world,
I haven't read this one for a long time and I forgot about it! Until I was recently listing up books and comic I read, it came up in my mind. To be honest the last time I read this was in middle school and I really loved it. Somehow you could relate it in your life, wanting to be fit in the group or fantasize of how high school would be and wished it was like these. Not to mention the fact that Haley and Alexa could use psyic powers made it intergreeed for teenagers who loves those stuff. Not on...
Very creative. Just read today! 4/12/10. I wish i had powers. Do you?
I related to this book on a level that the main character and I share a name: Haley. And that’s it. I was never popular-power hungry. I never cared for that, but I did adore Jasper! He’s a cutie!
The story is engaging and kept me reading. Great book for young teens and those appreciative of a decent graphic novel.
3.0 out of 5 starsMean Girls meets super powers.
Is as good as I remember when I was younger.

This is not explained, but there are hints that are sure to be...

Rating it as 4 stars because I loved reading this when I was younger and I wanted to have powers because whoa cool. Reading it now, I feel like I matured a lot more than I did back in elementary/junior high. So the whole thing felt childish in some places and I just wished that everyone could be nice to each other and like just be good people. but it was still a fun little story that i loved so much.4/5
I can thank my daughter and her lovable love of anime and her psychokinetic ability to strew her various books and detritus in her own miniature tornado that leaves me, her mother and maid, to inevitably stumble across, sit down, and then, read, said books. I then discover a few of what the kids "these days" are into, these "graphic novels"; in my day we called them comics...!! Kids! Also "in my day" (har har), in Canada, there is no middle school, we have school until grade 7 & then high school...
Found a copy of this, and decided to read it again. I read it as a little girl, twice actually, and loved it lots. It was a cute reread, and I feel very happy to have found it again today!
This graphic novel about young Haley Madison's attempt to climb up the middle school social ladder is a must-read. It really brings out all of the drama & tension of educations. Haley is a unique, adopted girl who's be labeled as a permanent geek, until she moved to a new intermediate school in the city. Oh yeah . . . She's also psychokinetic, which a feel is a tribute to a classical element of almost all graphic novels (superpowers). Her past infamy was partially due by the accidents caused by
This is your classic "Popularity War" story among teenage girls....or, is it?!? Meet Haley Madison, who feels like she has been exiled to Loserville--Population of 1!--at her present school, when all she really wants is to be popular and in charge of the popular crowd. So, Haley is delighted when her mother gets a job as a fashion editor at a popular teens/tweens magazine in NYC, and they have to move there. It's her opportunity to become the popular girl she knows she should be...at a NEW sch
I enjoyed reading this book because it was about a girl who thought she wanted to be in the popular group even though at her first school she was really smart but extremely lonely because she was considered a geek. In the book, Haley is determined to be super-popular in her new middle-school, if she can control her little secret power of hers. Psychokinesis powers, as her mother calls them. Haley's mom gets a new job and has decided to move to the city. Her luck has changed, she decides she want...
This may be something you have to read in middle school, its intended audience, because the 'want to be popular at all costs' trope is tired and in this case is filled with characters who are very unsympathetic all the way around. There was a sequel suggested at the end which I would be interested in seeing because I have a strong suspicion of the direction its going, but not sure whatever happened to it as it isn't listed anywhere as existing.
