Sneaking Out | 
pickI don‘t think I ever read this one when I was a kid but it‘s a very Jessica-centric book and lots of fun. Her favorite rockstar, Johnny Buck, is doing a concert at Secca Lake and she just HAS to go, even though her parents told her no. She cooks up a scheme with Lila to have a “sleepover” at her house and go to the concert from there. She just has to raise $25 quickly (ahh, the 80s 😆) for her ticket, so she decides to dog sit for a sweet old ⬇️
JenlovesJT47 Lady, Mrs. Bramble, and her fat old cocker spaniel, Sally. Jessica doesn‘t like dogs (which doesn‘t jive at all with SVH and her beloved dog Prince Albert but I digress) and she‘s really slick about passing off all of the doggy duties to Liz and Steven. Mrs. B is late picking up Sally and Jess has to leave for the concert or she‘ll be late, so she ties Sally to a tree and leaves. Sally promptly spots a cat and takes off running. When Liz and ⬇️ 2w

Luckily, they find Sally and Jess‘s punishment is that she has to walk her every day for the next month. Jessica also realizes that her dreams of Johnny Buck thinking she‘s special are just nonsense because he gives out the same generic autographed pics and hats to all of his fans. 😆 This one was fun. 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #twins #nostalgia 👯♀️ 2w
TorieStorieS They stick with Jessica not liking dogs in the kids series, but she comes to like them over the course of the Twins series, so there‘s some continuity eventually! 1w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS that‘s good! The continuity is so hit or miss with these but I really liked this book also. The whole thing with 50 girls at the concert having the same Johnny Buck hat and the generic autographed picture they got was so funny! At least Jessica was realizing early that men are full of it lol. 1w
TorieStorieS Hahahahaha!! Very true!! I know— I was just reading one where they called Bruce Patman an eighth grader— when he has to be a seventh grader! And then in the next one, he was back to his right age! 1w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS well the one I just read about Mary Giaccio Altman Robinson or whatever her name is, they mention her mom has been looking for her for 7.5 years and she was 4 when she was kidnapped. But in the other books it says she‘s a 7th grader so it‘s kinda confusing cause the twins are 12 and in 6th grade. 🤔 oh well! 😅 1w
TorieStorieS She does have a birthday party in the series, but yeah, that math doesn‘t add up! 🤷♀️ 1w
