This book was great! At first I was thinking I shouldn't read it because I had just read Moby Dick and it took me forever to read and this book was based of the original story. I decided to give it a try and well it wasn't anything like the original story. It keeps the same characters as they are mentioned thru out the book and the details seem to stick to the original story as well. I would say I am really glad that I decided to read this book cause you always want to know what is going to happ...more

I found this book for $3 at Joseph-Beth Booksellers. I read the back and was utterly intrigued with talks of ghosts teaching at a boarding school and fictional characters inhabiting the grounds. The idea of this book was brilliant, in my opinion. The execution was done fairly well, although the ending was not one I enjoyed so much. All the same, the ending was what fit best.
This is a fresh take on life at boarding school. The school is for delinquents, and as I mentioned is taught by ghosts of d...more

Until her little sister Lindsay crashes their Dad's new car into the store and gets send to Bard alongside Miranda.
From the start, Lindsay is determined to get Miranda in trouble, mostly because that's Lindsay's favorite past time. Soon Miranda is in trou...more

Bard Academy is a school located on Shipwreck Island that delinquent students are sent to. Bard Academy is a purgatory for dead writers who teach the delinquent students and the students have no idea that their teachers are dead. Except for Miranda Tate and her friends because apparently Miranda is a descendant of Wuthering Heights' Catherine Earnshaw. In this world, characters from the classics come alive and real life may parallel plot lines from classic novels. Bard Academy is no ordinary sch...more

Miranda Tate returns to Bard Academy—a boarding school for delinquent teens—in Cara Lockwood’s third installment of the Bard Academy series, Moby Clique.
This time, Miranda has her younger sister, Lindsay, in tow. Lindsay quickly falls in love with Miranda’s ex, Ryan, and aligns with Miranda’s arch nemesis, Parker. Throw in some pirates, and Miranda is clearly in for a difficult semester.

Miranda Tate is heading back to Bard Academy after at a brutal summer working for her step-mother at her boutique, In The Pink, which sells everything imaginable that is pink. Miranda refers to it as In The Puke and spends most of her time there sitting at the cash register completing her required summer reading of Moby Dick. Miranda is excited about returning to school until she finds out that her sister, Lindsay, is going to be joining her there after running their father’s new Land Rover thro...more
In the third (and possibly last!) Bard Academy novel, Cara Lockwood has settled into her formula pretty comfortably. Miranda is looking forward to her return to Bard Academy, with its secrets and Heathcliff, but things don't go as planned. Suddenly, her sister is enrolled as a freshman, and Miranda's world is invaded.
Once again, Miranda must reconcile the worlds of fiction and fact, as well as keep her teachers in line.

Moby Clique may just be the most action heavy book in the series and is a great read. Bits of this book do get predictable, especially Miranda's sister becoming a Parker clone. I actually was turned off by the idea of adding her sister to the mix, but can see how it works well in this novel. Overall, I enjoyed Moby Clique as much as I enjoyed the other two books in the series.
This is the third book in a series of teenage novels that is actually pretty interesting. I love the idea of an island with a school whos teachers are the ghosts of classical writers.I am such a book nerd so this really appeals to me.It is a really easy, but fun read. It took me about a day to read it. If you want something light and fluffly I reccomend it.

While the lit geek in me still enjoys this series for the references and the way they're worked into the story, the reader in me is really annoyed by Miranda's damsel in distress act, and the fact that all the boys are so heroic (minus Samir). I'd like to see a girl kick butt here, for once.
this book was pretty good, i liked the idea of characters from famous books coming to life and ghosts teaching the school. i feel sorry for miranda cause she falls in love with a fictional charater and she knows that sometime he is going to have to go back in book but not yet. so yah.

It was a great end to the novel but I so want more books in the series (if there is even any). Its 1st Junior year and there could be 3 more books at Bard and I want to know all the loopholes have been answered.
I liked this one better than the second installment in the series, not as much as the first book though.
Traditional teenage female lit. Not really my cup of tea, but it was recommended by a friend.

This was a fun 3rd installment in the trilogy. I liked that the main character was faced with hard decisions - what to do about her obnoxious sister, who's now on the island with her, what to do about the two guys she's interested in, and how to save her friends, the school, and possibly the world from impending doom. The characters are really strong, and I had a fun time reading this. If this is the last in the series, I think it had a good ending.
Moby Dick references and Slyvia Plath info.
An interesting ending to a trilogy for the people that love the "classic" literature. Didn't like Lindsey, Miranda's sister, who was a new character in this book. I like Cara Lockwood as an author both for YA and adult.
Definitely an interesting idea--but there was so much junk in it, that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone--especially someone like me who can't start a book in a series without finishing it.
I thought this book was just as good as the other 3 in the series. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Can't wait for the next installment.
I think this is a cute, fun enjoyable series! It has some quirky characters and witty commentary which make it fun

I grew up in Mesquite, Texas, which for those of you who like livestock shows, is the home of the Mesquite Rodeo. Ironically, Mesquite was named after Mesquite trees, only none of them now exist in the city, which is about fifteen minutes east of Dallas. No, I don't own a pair of cowboy boots, although I do own quite an impressive collection of black shoes. My Dad is a third-generation Japanese-Am...more
