Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s nearly the end of the school year & Janet Howell‘s making everyone miserable as she prepares for a year-end speech & a fabulous party. She‘s not sparing a single expense… but also not a single feeling! After blowing up at Lois Waller (Lois once again spills her spaghetti in the lunchroom), Elizabeth encourages her to throw a rival party the same night as Janet‘s! With more reminders of books in the past, this one is almost bittersweet!

The end of school picnic‘s approaches & everyone‘s pairing off— except Janet‘s furious with Denny for lying & taking it out on the rest of the Unicorns. Jessica‘s own loose relationship with the truth comes into focus as she tries to come out on top & wishes for Elizabeth to learn a lesson through all-truths & then all-lies! It‘s silly & fun as Jessica gets wound deeper into trouble but a heroic dog-rescue straightens everything out in the end!

The Dating Game for middle schoolers, Young Love, is looking for schools for their Valentines special & all of SVMS wants their school to be selected! After groups from The Unicorns to the science club write essays & Liz does her best for the school photograph, candidates & contestants are secretly selected. Liz instigated a twin switch to avoid the nasty but handsome host but once the new couples form for the Dizzy Planet prize, fights erupt!

It‘s the first #SweetValleyNewYear & resolutions are in the air— starting with the twins needing to prove to their parents that they won‘t fight for a whole week so they can go on a ski trip with their cousins. But their friends get in on this, turning it into a diaper-wearing punishment as Steven avoids TV, Lila can‘t brag, Janet can‘t eat sweets, Amy must be on time, Joe avoids Casey‘s & Maria stays away from mirrors! Sabotage abounds for all!

In this Groundhog Day-ish 8th #SweetValleyChristmas, Jessica must learn once again about the joy of giving & not being a selfish brat for the holidays! The twins host a Christmas Eve party & Jessica wants it to be a modern, formal soirée while Elizabeth‘s more traditional ideas win out over their parents. Wanting revenge, Jessica steals Liz‘s thoughtful Secret Santa gift & passes it off as her own while not even getting her twin anything at all!

Somehow, this is the first #SweetValleyThanksgiving for the #SVT series (I think there were 6 in SVK!)! It‘s also Cousin Kelly‘s series debut, and a return for cousins Robin & Stacey. Here all the sisters— the twins, Robin & Stacey & even Alice, Nancy & Laura— constantly bicker & fight. Steven wants family gossip & we learn where Jessica‘s scheming side really comes from! Oddly, Kelly used to live in #SweetValley, though she didn‘t in 2nd grade!

It‘s Field Day at Secca Lake & nobody can stop making fun of Andy, who believes in aliens & hopes to see a UFO at the lake. Andy gets the last laugh when a few of them get lost in the woods & come across some strange looking instruments & someone they are convinced is a Martian, but is really a man in beekeeper‘s garb. Fun fun. 👽👽👽

Elizabeth befriends the new exchange student from Santa Dora, Arthur Castle. She learns he is really the crown prince of Santa Dora but he doesn‘t want anyone to know & swears Liz to secrecy. He just wants to be a normal kid for a few weeks. Meanwhile, Jess finds out & spills the beans to the Unicorns, & soon the whole school knows. He is convinced Liz told everybody & won‘t speak to her. Jess finally fesses up in the end & they all make up, & ⬇️

The class takes a trip to watch a taping of Dr. Snapturtle‘s Animal Hour. Caroline tells everyone he‘s a fake & not a real vet, and they start to believe her after the twins see him yelling at his dog, Duke. Dr. S. comes to visit the class the next day & explain his bad behavior as being upset over the death of one of his animals. And luckily he is there to save the day when a dog gets hit by a car. 4⭐️
