Special Christmas | Francine Pascal

Pickpick

This is a fun SVH Christmas book. Todd is still in Vermont & is coming to see Liz over the break. But she‘s not sure if they still have that spark anymore. Meanwhile, Suzanne Devlin, who terrorized Liz & her friends the last time she visited, is coming for Christmas. She says she‘s changed & is sorry & wants to make it up to everyone, but Jess doesn‘t buy it. She comes up with some pretty mean pranks to try to get her to leave. But Suzanne has ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 A secret: she has multiple sclerosis & doesn‘t want anyone to know. One of Jess‘s pranks backfires badly when Suzanne mixes champagne & her experimental medication & she wrecks the Fiat. Oh, & she & Todd kind of have a thing for each other & Liz gives her blessing in the end. Oh oh, & she doesn‘t actually have MS, the doctors misdiagnosed her & she will be fine. I expect nothing less from Sweet Valley. 😆 4⭐️ 80 points 2d

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS have you read this one? I was shook when I got to the part where the twins, Steven & Suzanne are getting ready to leave for a Christmas party & the Wakefield Parentals gave them a bottle of champagne! I have zero recollection of that lol. Don‘t remember them ever doing something like that 😳 2d
TorieStorieS I haven‘t read this one in probably 20 years!! And while I do remember Suzanne Devlin, I totally don‘t remember the champagne!! 🍾 🤯 2d
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I had only read it once before, 8 years ago when I was doing my SVH read-through, and I really don‘t remember that. I guess it‘s just a plot device, because Suzanne crashed the Fiat after drinking the champagne mixed with her medication. It was just so weird seeing the Wakefields nonchalantly leave their kids a bottle of champagne 😆 2d

Elizabeth the Seventh Grader | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne
post image
Pickpick

After a parent-teacher conference, everyone agrees that Elizabeth is too smart to stay in the 6th grade. She gets a whole new schedule, & to her twin‘s horror (especially since this means Liz is invited to 7th/8th only parties!), immediately becomes a 7th grader! Steven helps with a reverse psychology plan, but though Liz aces her new classes, she lacks the fashion sense needed & feels out of place with spin the bottle in particular! New to me!

Big for Christmas | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

The 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 ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 And are actually fairly successful at them, but they decide they‘d rather be 12 again. A fun Sweet Valley take on the movie Big or 13 Going on 30. 5⭐️ 80 points. #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #twins #nostalgia #Christmas #WinterGames2024 #HolidayBookDragons 6d

TorieStorieS I love them driving and the nods to their future cars! 🤣 3d

Cool concept. I think it could have been a lot shorter and just written better. I was really invested halfway through and then it felt like it should have ended too many times and it didn‘t. It had a lot of potential, but just didn‘t hit fully for me. I thought it would have been a lot better based on the idea, but it wasn‘t for me.

Well this is a 7-year-old‘s fantasy come to life — the twins get trapped in a huge department store on Christmas Eve. Some Home Alone hijinks ensue when they cross paths with a thief. They trap him in the toy department then are rescued just before midnight. Fun fun. 5⭐️ 80 points

Holiday Mischief | Francine Pascal

This 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.😆

TorieStorieS This one is a fun one! 6d
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I loved this one. The rivalry with that witchy Sherrie was really funny. I had forgotten almost everything about this book. 6d
TorieStorieS I love the rivalries that spring up throughout the series! Sherrie is really a rat, though! 🤣 5d
