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!

If Looks Could Kill | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

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!

Sisters at War | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

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!

JenlovesJT47 I‘ve seen a couple of SVH books with this kind of cover but didn‘t know they did that for SVT too 🤔 2w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Yeah, I have a few of these UK collections with these covers… I liked the idea of three books in one, but now I think I would have rather had the original covers with the traditional artwork… 2w

Pumpkin Fever | Francine Pascal

Pickpick

It‘s the 5th #SweetValleyHalloween & Mr. Clark announces the school‘s trip fund is low, so they need the prize from the Pumpkin Growers Association as the school with the most pumpkin spirit! Elizabeth comes up with the idea to crown a Halloween king & queen by voting using carved jack-o-lanterns! Jessica feels jealous & then takes credit for Liz‘s acorn pumpkin earrings, bringing the pumpkin spotlight back to her! Liz gets justice through Poe!

JenlovesJT47 I don‘t think I read any SVT books past that weird Dr. Q one which is 102 I think. Is the vibe totally different still? 2w
TorieStorieS No, the Dr. Q definitely stuck out— these others have been more in line with the earlier ones, though Todd isn‘t as around as he had been 2w

The Twins Go to College | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

It‘s the (5th) start of summer & while Jessica‘s looking forward to a summer free from plans & school, Liz applied for them to do a 2 week campus experience at SVU! With Steven in basketball camp, & Alice & Ned taking a camping trip in the Grand Canyon, Jessica can‘t wiggle out of it! She takes ceramics, meets a cute boy & a strange old woman who inspires some creative revenge on her vile roommate, Susan— a curse pot! Then, Susan disappears!

TorieStorieS Also, Liz hilariously invents an older sister, “Geraldine” because of her own crush on her Romantic poetry teacher! Luckily, her detective obsessed roommate, Marion, also looks like she could be a Wakefield! 🤣 2w
JenlovesJT47 Omg this sounds amazing lol 😅 2w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 It‘s definitely over-the-top and totally fun!! I don‘t remember if the names of the lecture halls and buildings match up with the SVU series or not (honestly, I don‘t remember too many of the plots ever even mentioning much about classes…) but this one was really fun— plus how many dead ringers for Wakefield twins are out there in the world?? 🤣 2w
JenlovesJT47 Lol right? And don‘t forget the invisible one, Jennifer 😆 2w

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, & ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 He takes them to a fancy ball at the consulate. This one was cute & Arthur shows up again later in SVH, gotta love the continuity. 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #twins #nostalgia 👯‍♀️ 2w

Don't Go in the Basement | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Strapped for cash again, the Wakefield twins decide that after disastrously babysitting the Riccolis, they‘re better off house-sitting. Their first client is none other than their principal, Mr. Clark, who leaves town in a rush. After some accidental snooping on Jessica‘s part, she finds a bloody knife, a suspicious stain & hair clump & Liz‘s warning from Mr. Clark to stay out of the basement. Now they need proof that Mr. Clark murdered his wife!

JenlovesJT47 Omg lol. This stuff is so funny. Yeah I wouldn‘t be babysitting anymore either after the Riccoli‘s! 😆 2w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Hahahaha— I know!! This one was a lot of fun!! Not entirely plausible, but still a lot of fun! 2w

Here‘s the missing page 14! Let me know if you need any other pages, @JenlovesJT47 — this is a good one!

JenlovesJT47 Thank you so much!!! 🤗🤗🤓 3w
JenlovesJT47 Omg the level of secondhand embarrassment here 😅😅😅. You‘d think Lila could have gotten some fancy stuff from a bakery or something! 3w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Anytime! And yes— Lila had cookies fedexed from Switzerland in 3w

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 So you would think she could have been less cringey here!! 🤣 (edited) 3w
JenlovesJT47 I love the camp series in SVH where she and her rich boyfriend Beau constantly have caviar and other fancy foods helicoptered into camp 😂😂😂 3w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Lila has always been one of my favorite characters since I was little! 3w
JenlovesJT47 Same! Can‘t wait to read SVU! 3w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 She gets some really fun storylines there! I can‘t believe I‘m getting close to finishing SVT! I think I‘m going to keep going into the Jr High ones next to give me a little more time to try and track down those last couple Unicorn Club books… Plus, it‘s been fun reading all of these new-to-me SVTs and that whole series will be new for me too! 3w
JenlovesJT47 Sounds like a good idea! I‘ve only read the first JY book but it‘s very similar to SY, with a more realistic and linear timeline. 3w
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 More realistic?! I guess that‘s why it didn‘t run for very long… I guess there won‘t be any more crumbling mansions on the edge of town with haunted pasts, hahahaha! 3w

Jessica's First Kiss | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Pickpick

SVMS spends a week out of school camping at the Bannerman Estate. Liz can‘t wait for outdoorsy fun, roasted marshmallows & some romantic time with Todd. Jess hopes for romance, too, but Aaron Dallas is more concerned with pranking everyone by crying, “Bear!” Plus, the Unicorns all look awful roughing it. Jess decides new 7th grader Dennis Asher is the one for her, but since Liz looks better, she pulls a reverse twin-switch to try to snag him!
