In the second book of “The Clique Summer Collection,” Dylan is not to please to be spending the summer at Hawaii’s Aloha Tennis Open while her TV-host mother interviews tennis star, Svetlana Slootskyia. Dylan intends to spend the summer soaking up rays by the pool and ignoring everything tennis, but after meeting J.T., a hot boy obsessed with tennis, Dylan quickly changes her tune. Dylan’s only hope to win over J.T. is if she can persuade Svetlana into making Dylan a tennis expert in just a few weeks. Will Dylan succeed, or remain loveless for the summer? Harrison’s soap opera plot, filled with intrigue, blackmail, and surprise twists, is bound to entertain some pre-teen girls, especially if they are already fans of the series. Keeping with the soap opera theme, all the characters, including Dylan, are cardboard cut-outs and immensely shallow. Some readers will find this, and Dylan’s self-obsessed and spoiled brat personality, annoying, particularly if they are not into reading stories about trust-fund babies. 2008, Poppy/Little Brown, $6.99.
