pickSVMS spends a week out of school camping at the Bannerman Estate. Liz can‘t wait for outdoorsy fun, roasted marshmallows & some romantic time with Todd. Jess hopes for romance, too, but Aaron Dallas is more concerned with pranking everyone by crying, “Bear!” Plus, the Unicorns all look awful roughing it. Jess decides new 7th grader Dennis Asher is the one for her, but since Liz looks better, she pulls a reverse twin-switch to try to snag him!
I haven‘t done an alternate cover of the day in awhile, but this is one of my faves & I just couldn‘t resist. 😆😅

pickI love Jessica shenanigans & this one is full of them. Jess gets stuck doing the water balloon booth at the school fair so she wrangles her way out of it into Liz‘s babysitting job, & Liz takes her place at the booth. Much to her dismay the kids she is watching are little terrors. Liz saves the day with a hilarious twin switch which has the kids convinced Jess has magical powers. And Jess gets payback later in the form of water balloons 🎈. 4.5⭐️
pickIt‘s April 1st & the twins have decided to do something a little different this year. They usually do a twin switch every year & everyone expects it. Jess convinces Liz that this year, they shouldn‘t switch & just be themselves. Problem is nobody believes them. Liz has a very bad day as she continues to get mistaken for Jess & that means she gets punished for Jess‘s mistakes as well. This was a lot of fun. Poor Liz!

pickThis one was new to me & so adorable! The twins have to earn their own money if they want to go visit Great Aunt Helen, so they decide to start a dog-walking business. Jess shirks her responsibilities but Ken, who loves dogs but isn‘t allowed to have one, is thrilled to help. They get an opportunity to earn more money when Mr. Quincy brings his dog, Joe, for them to watch for a week. Joe is a Samoyed & is covered in cuts & bruises. The twins &⬇️
pickPatrick Morris has very strict parents who‘ve gotten even more strict lately. His parents forbid him to join the school band, so he practices the saxophone at Casa Wakefield in his free time. He makes the band but his parents still refuse to let him play. He decides to run away, & Winston & the twins help. Eventually he goes home & learns his dad lost his job, which is why they didn‘t want him joining the band. But all‘s well that ends well in SV.
pickI got way behind on my reviews last week! This one is all about Belinda “Billie” Layton, who is a tomboy at heart & loves playing sports. She‘s out of sorts because her mother is about to have a baby & her dad doesn‘t spend as much time with her anymore. Don‘t worry, Saint Liz will help! 😆

pickThis one feels like a departure from the series— Todd & Elizabeth no longer are “sort-of” dating & barely seem to know each other! Mr. Bowman‘s the homeroom/English teacher & Bruce is in 6th grade classes! Otherwise, it‘s fun when a hypnotist comes to school & the twins take opposing sides on believing in it. Jessica naturally dives in to trying her hand at hypnotizing her friends. Lila being hypnotized into quacking by the principal is the best!
pickIt‘s the first midwinter break for #SVT & while Lila heads to Paris, the Wakefields head to the Triple Z Ranch. Liz‘s looking forward to the horses & Jessica the boys. But a boy even turns Liz‘s head— a boy who looks exactly like the one Jessica runs into! They vow to never fight over boys again once they realize the cute boy has an identical twin! Full of twin switching hilarity, but Steven and Rocket steal the show in the last day‘s race!
pickDespite the girls‘ basketball team championship of #20PlayingHooky, the school no longer has a girls team & after Steven gives his sisters a basketball lesson, they‘re naturals! Steven needs coaching experience & so the Honeybees are formed— but the boys‘ team isn‘t supportive— refusing to go to games! So the Boosters boycott them, ending their winning streak! Bruce Patman cuts a deal in the end, & it‘s all a good laugh despite the inconsistency!
