Welcome to Litsy!

I haven‘t done an alternate cover of the day in awhile, but this is one of my faves & I just couldn‘t resist. 😆😅

I 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⭐️

Earth Day is coming up, & the 2nd grade class project is to restore a rundown area into a beautiful park. Rich Mr. Patman wants to turn it into a parking garage & make $. The kids‘ only hope is to try to get snobby Bruce Patman on their side. And of course, they do. Mr. P. sees all the hard work they did on the park & Bruce talks him into leaving it be. Cute and wholesome. 4⭐️

It‘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!

This 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 &⬇️

Patrick 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.

I 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! 😆

The twins‘ grandparents send them silk orchids as a Valentine‘s Day present, so Jessica decides to start the Orchid Club with Lila & Ellen. But you have to have a silk orchid to join. Liz thinks they‘re snobs so she starts the Sunflower Club where anyone can join. Jess soon feels left out. This had a cute ending. Oh, to be a kid again. 4⭐️

It would not be Christmas without crazy Margo & her diabolical plan to kill Liz & take over her identity. 😆 This is my all-time fave SV book & I realized I hadn‘t done a reread in 6 years. Blasphemy! I never get tired of this no matter how many times I read it. 5⭐️ 80 points

The twins are hosting a Christmas Eve party & Jess wants everything to be perfect. But all of her ideas get shot down & Liz wants an old fashioned Christmas. Jess draws Liz‘s name for Secret Santa but she spends all her money on a new outfit & decides to steal Liz‘s Secret Santa gift for Lila & say it‘s for her. The whole party is a disaster & Jess wishes that Christmas will never come. She gets her wish when she wakes up the next day & it‘s ⬇️
