pickThis 3rd #SweetValleyTwinsValentinesDay features (another) dance to celebrate! To raise money, the Boosters are selling personalized cheers that couples can use to ask each other to the dance; meanwhile Liz gets too much into the spirit by writing overly romantic lovegrams to put in the Sixers. When Jake Hamilton embarrasses Lila by asking Brooke, she invents an 8th grade boyfriend from Lovett Academy! Will she get caught up in her many lies??
pickThe twins are tired of being treated like little kids. They‘re invited to a party with both middle schoolers & high schoolers & their brother Steven is so embarrassed by them. So he tells the Parentals that it‘s going to be a wild & crazy party, then the twins are forbidden to go. They end up at a Christmas carnival & make a wish at a wishing well to be grown up. They wake up the next morning in the bodies of college-aged women. They get jobs ⬇️
pickThis is another super edition I haven‘t read since I was a kid & it was a lot of fun! SVMS‘s choral group is going to Washington, D.C., to perform in a music competition in December. The twins cover for their friend, Anna, who can‘t sing a lick but wants to go to D.C. to meet her long lost sister. Jess & Anna sneak out to the Australian embassy (where her sister lives) & catch a spy who‘s threatening national security. Because of course they do.😆
pickThis 7th #SweetValleyChristmas is another memorable one! Janet Howell‘s co-hosting a party with her older brother, Joe, Steven‘s best friend. Steven doesn‘t want to be embarrassed by his baby sisters so he schemes to get his parents to forbid them from going! All of this being treated like a kid makes the twins wish to be grown-up! A (2nd) Christmas carnival grants their wish & they‘re busting their seams & forced to join the work force! Such fun!
pickIt‘s 2 weeks before (another) #SweetValleyHalloween when Jessica finds the perfect witchy dress & decides the Unicorns will host a “Monster Ball” with an SVH band. Liz makes friends with Kala, a Native American girl in town for the month. Fowler Enterprises has two potential sites for their spooky party— a ramshackle cabin on Sleepy Hollow that they fix up. But when they find artifacts & remains (plus a seance later), Kala helps save the property!
pickThis was another fun Sweet Valley Christmas book. This time, it‘s Sweet Valley‘s take on A Christmas Carol. Jess does something very selfish where Liz is concerned & is visited by the ghosts of Christmases past, present & future. I must admit the part where she sees her high school self alone & unpopular was especially funny to me, because that would never happen lol. 4⭐️

pickThis was one of my favorites growing up & I forgot how much fun it is. It‘s the Sweet Valley spin on It‘s A Wonderful Life & it is hilarious. Nostalgia at its finest! What would happen if Elizabeth had never been born? Well, brace yourselves: the Wakefields are divorced, Steven has a tattoo (😳😦), the Unicorn club is now known as the Sharks 🦈 (😅) and they smoke cigarettes. Denny & Sarah are dead, Jessica is unpopular & unfashionable. ⬇️
pickMrs. W. has been spending a lot of time with her wealthy client, Frank. She & Mr. W. forget their anniversary. Jess quickly jumps to conclusions & thinks Mrs. W. is getting ready to run off with Frank & convinces Liz & Steven that their parents are headed for divorce. They quickly come up with some crazy schemes to make Frank think their family is a nightmare & hope he will run for the hills. This one was so funny! As pictured here, Jess stalks⬇️
pickIn this 3rd #SweetValleySpringBreak, the twins snorkel for treasure. Jessica talks her twin into the forbidden Pirate‘s Cove. The undertow isn‘t worth the barnacle covered findings—but they glimpse a shipwreck. Liz starts having nightmares & a mysterious chain letter arrives. Between her dreams & research—plus the discovery of what‘s beneath the barnacles make this fun! Best of all, are the disasters that befall Lila for not doing the chainletter!
pickAnnoyed with Aaron Dallas‘ immature behavior (he crushes graham crackers into crumbs before pouring them in his mouth like a total 4th grader!) & childish fashion (neon shorts & Donald Duck tees!), Jessica breaks up with him before Rick Hunter‘s party. After giving Liz the idea for a classifieds section for The Sixers, a personal ad craze takes over thanks to Jess! Even 7th & 8th graders get into it! Soon everyone is broken up & mayhem erupts!
