Welcome to Litsy!

This 3rd #SweetValleyTwinsValentinesDay features (another) dance to celebrate! To raise money, the Boosters are selling personalized cheers that couples can use to ask each other to the dance; meanwhile Liz gets too much into the spirit by writing overly romantic lovegrams to put in the Sixers. When Jake Hamilton embarrasses Lila by asking Brooke, she invents an 8th grade boyfriend from Lovett Academy! Will she get caught up in her many lies??

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 ⬇️

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

Despite the cold/flu season in #SweetValley, Mr. Bowman‘s English class puts on a highlights version of Romeo & Juliet. Both Jessica & Lila want the titular role, & bet that the loser comes to school wearing the warts meant for the nurse‘s costume! Jessica, despite driving the house nuts with all of her practicing, succumbs to the sickness, Liz pulls a switch & auditions for her! But with Todd as Romeo, Liz wants the part! Shenanigans galore! Fun!

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.😆

This 7th #SweetValleyChristmas is another memorable one! Janet Howell‘s co-hosting a party with her older brother, Joe, Steven‘s best friend. Steven doesn‘t want to be embarrassed by his baby sisters so he schemes to get his parents to forbid them from going! All of this being treated like a kid makes the twins wish to be grown-up! A (2nd) Christmas carnival grants their wish & they‘re busting their seams & forced to join the work force! Such fun!

Amy‘s worried her parents are about to divorce— but it turns out that Mr. Sutton‘s already been divorced & has another daughter with his first wife that he didn‘t know about until Amy was 5. A year & a half older, Ashley lives in NYC & loves ballet, but she wants to get to know her dad. Amy‘s jealous at first, but soon comes to her senses! Lila is shockingly nice here & best of all, Jessica gets a book on hairstyles from around the world!

It‘s 2 weeks before (another) #SweetValleyHalloween when Jessica finds the perfect witchy dress & decides the Unicorns will host a “Monster Ball” with an SVH band. Liz makes friends with Kala, a Native American girl in town for the month. Fowler Enterprises has two potential sites for their spooky party— a ramshackle cabin on Sleepy Hollow that they fix up. But when they find artifacts & remains (plus a seance later), Kala helps save the property!

A fun Christmas fantasy where Jessica‘s toy elf, a present from Great Aunt Helen, comes to life and tasks the Snoopers club with finding a missing magic bell that belongs on Santa‘s sleigh. Would that we all had such chill parents when we were 7 years old. 😆 4⭐️ 80 points

This was another fun Sweet Valley Christmas book. This time, it‘s Sweet Valley‘s take on A Christmas Carol. Jess does something very selfish where Liz is concerned & is visited by the ghosts of Christmases past, present & future. I must admit the part where she sees her high school self alone & unpopular was especially funny to me, because that would never happen lol. 4⭐️
