Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s winter break & the Wakefields & Todd‘s family go on vacation to a ski chalet. Liz is looking forward to spending time with Todd but he soon ditches her for an older boy named Mark, making her feel left out. Todd is being his usual annoying self displayed on full glory in the SVH books. 😆 They make up after Todd gets grounded for going on the intermediate slopes against his parents‘ wishes. 4⭐️ 80 points

This is my first SV Kids super edition & it was really cute. Jess, Liz, Lila, Amy, Eva, Ellen, Winston & Todd start a Snoopers Club to solve mysteries. Their first mystery is finding out if the new school janitor, Chris Kreeger, is really Santa Claus 🎅🏻. He looks like Santa, has a Santa suit and knows things he shouldn‘t know. It makes me miss being a kid. 5⭐️ 80 points

Cousin Kelly comes to visit the twins for Thanksgiving. She shows up a few days early & is very sad. Her parents are thinking about getting a divorce. So the twins take it upon themselves to cheer her up & take her mind off of things. I always enjoy when Kelly shows up and they act like triplets. Luckily her parents decide to stay together in the end. 4⭐️

In this Halloween book, Lila throws a party for the whole class at a haunted house, which is actually a museum that rents the house out for parties. There‘s a ghost rumored to live there and all the kids scare themselves with every little weird noise. I wish I had a rich friend like Lila when I was growing up. 😆 4⭐️

I never read any of these Sweet Valley Kids books back in the day so I‘m really enjoying this read through. Jess & Liz have a slumber party while their parents are out of town & their great Aunt Helen is in charge. GA Helen is actually pretty cool & everyone has a fabulous time. Makes me miss being a kid. 4⭐️

To everyone‘s surprise, Jessica wins the 2nd grade spelling bee at school & gets to compete in the district spelling bee. She feels she is not smart enough & apparently everyone agrees because the whole class tries to convince her to do a twin switch on the big day & let Liz go in her place. But she surprises everyone & herself most of all when she does it all on her own. 4⭐️

Jess & Liz go for a 3-day joint stay at the hospital to have their tonsils out. Such a contrast to the way things are done today! Their stay is made more exciting by 2 contraband turtles that another kid has sneaked into the ward. The kids amuse themselves with turtle races. 4⭐️🐢🐢👯‍♀️

The Wakefield family takes a family vacation at the lake. Jess is horrified at the idea of fishing and hangs out with Jilly, a girl their age staying in the cabin next door. After 2 days of hanging out with this insufferable girl, fishing sounds more & more appealing. She finally goes out on the boat on the last day of vacation & catches the biggest fish, bigger than anyone else has caught all weekend. So cute! 4⭐️

Steven & the twins make a bet that if he wins 1st place in the science fair, the twins will have to do all his chores for a week, & if he loses he does their chores. As you can see by the title, Steven wins & starts bossing them around & showing off in front of their friends. They make another bet to see who can make the best birthday cake for their dad, & Steven finally gets put in his place with his microwaved monstrosity. 😆 4⭐️

Caroline keeps bragging about her collection of porcelain dolls, which prompts Mrs. Otis to plan a special show and tell for collections. On the big day, Caroline‘s doll goes missing. She later confesses to Liz that she only has 1 doll. The doll is later found and Caroline confesses to the class. It was fun to see the things the other kids collected. Jess, of course, has a “Jessica” collection, tons of things with her name on it. Very fitting! 😆
