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

Jessica and the Brat Attack | Francine Pascal

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⭐️

TorieStorieS Such a fun one!! I love twin switches!! 5d

April Fool! | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

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 &⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Ken scheme to keep Joe from going back to Mr. Quincy. They tell him he ran away but they really took him to Ken‘s cousin‘s ranch. But their secret is out when Joe runs away & runs straight back to the Wakefields where Mr. Q is waiting. Mr. Wakefield puts him in his place in spectacular fashion & scares him away, once the kids tell their parents about Joe‘s abuse. And bonus: Ken gets to keep Joe at his house! So cute. 5⭐️ (edited) 1w
TorieStorieS New to you! This was one that I remembered well, but had so much fun revisiting! Now I‘m in the later ones in the series and they are all new to me which is a different kind of fun! 1w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS we had opposite experiences because I started reading them around number 65 and read all of the ones up through the early 100‘s. So fun! 1w
TorieStorieS It‘s fun to have someone to chat with about reading them, though! 1w

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! 😆

TorieStorieS Her parents stealing her name is a bit over the top, even for Sweet Valley, though! 🤣 1w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS right? I had never read any of these earlier books other than the first 4 or 5. So I was wondering who Billie Layton is lol. Ah yes, Belinda! Poor Billie, naming their kid Bill is such a slap in the face! 1w
TorieStorieS I know!!! The Laytons are hardly model Sweet Valley parents! 1w

It‘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!

I can‘t believe it‘s been 16 years since I read this #FrighteningFour miniseries for the first time! In the #SVT series‘ 7th haunted mansion, the Riccoli family has moved into the old Sullivan place. With five kinds under ten, & a husband still working back in Sacramento, the twins start raking in the babysitting money along with Amy, Winston & Todd. But with dire warnings from the creepy gardener & nightmares with real scratches, this is spooky!

Jessica's Snobby Club | Francine Pascal, Molly MIA Stewart

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⭐️

Whoah! This 3rd #SweetValleyHalloween in the #SVT series is the spookiest! Jessica finds Liz‘s Halloween “carols” & attitude juvenile so she doesn‘t want to do a joint costume. Liz plans with Amy & Maria until a stray dog leads her to a grotesque skeleton mask that she inexplicably loves. Soon she‘s acting meaner than Betsy Martin (she debuts here!) & making her friends & twin cry. Jessica braves yet another spooky house to learn how to save her!

JenlovesJT47 Sooo what did you think of this one?!! 4w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 A mean Elizabeth who relishes making everyone cry AND becomes sudden besties with Betsy Martin?! I loved it!! I really couldn‘t put it down & I think it‘s one of my favorite super chillers now!! 4w
JenlovesJT47 Omg Betsy Martin! I forgot about that! I hadn‘t read all of those SVH books when I was reading these SVT books so I hadn‘t made the connection. Can‘t wait to get to this one! 4w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I was shocked to see her here! No mention of Tricia though… but still such fun! I‘m looking forward to doing a holiday themed re-read after finishing this one (though at this rate, it will be a year or so before I do that! 🤣) 4w
