A totally adorable picture book adaptation!
The story is set in an elementary school and follows the same plot of the movie. The book is missing a couple of iconic characters (Josh and the dad), but overall it hits all of the Clueless nostalgia. It is definitely a book for the fans, but readers of all ages will enjoy reading this too.

this was cute and obviously since it was for children, it was adapted well from the movie. However, it would have been nice if the lines from the movie stayed assigned to the right characters (i.e. Dionne says "She could be a farmer in those clothes" in this book adaptation, as to Amber who says it in the movie). Overall super cute though!

First, I'd like to thank Hachette Book Group Canada for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review!
Okay, if you're old enough like I am to have seen Clueless a million times, then you're gonna want to pick this cute children's book up anyway! With the amazing illustrations that capture the characters perfectly, I think you'd want to have this on your collection.
However, the story itself revolves around friend groups, liking different things from others, and realizing that it's okay to be different from friends!
Overall this was a cute and entertaining story! Like I said before, as an adult you'll love the connection to the movie, but children will be able to take away that it's okay if everyone is different. That's what makes them all unique and special.

This is a very cute adaptation that younger readers will enjoy for its substance and illustrations and older readers will enjoy for its pop-culture origins. As a reader who doesn't have a strong emotional attachment to the original movie, I read this story with fresh eyes. The story felt a little disjointed which effects its overall pacing. I think it might leave some kids confused or disinterested. The illustrations were extremely adorable though and I think that older readers would enjoy seeing 80's movie picture book adaptations like this and be completely content with the stories as-is.
