Poor Sarah lost her mother recently & her dad has a new fiancée, Annie. Annie is sweet as pie when dad is around but barely disguises her contempt when he isn‘t. But Sarah won‘t tell her dad. Dad has to go on a week-long business trip & asks Annie to stay with Sarah. Annie ditches her immediately but makes her swear not to tell dad. Sarah is terrified staying alone & barely gets any sleep. By the time the weekend rolls around, she‘s so exhausted⬇️

JenlovesJT47 She takes a tumble down the stairs after hearing a loud noise, thinking it‘s a burglar. Liz & her dad come to pick Sarah up for a sleepover but there‘s no answer. Liz looks in the window & sees Sarah in a heap at the foot of the stairs, unconscious. Mr. W. saves the day & they bust a window & get Sarah to the hospital. Sarah‘s dad rushes home & Annie gets busted, sayonara Annie! It‘s a good thing Saint Liz was there to save the day! 😆 3.5⭐️ 6d
TorieStorieS Ah, Saint Liz strikes again! 🤣 6d
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS 😅 well at least in this case it happened by chance and not because she was sticking her nose into a random person‘s business 😆 6d
TorieStorieS Well, peeking through windows is sort of literally sticking her nose in! 🤣🤣 6d

Jessica the Thief | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

This book opens with Elizabeth‘s frustration over a missing turquoise sweater that she can‘t find in Jessica‘s disaster of a room. But when all the Unicorns except for Jessica fall victim to the Sweet Valley Swiper (a missing coat, silver earrings, Lila‘s Watchman), it‘s Liz & Amy to the rescue, resurrecting the SVK Super Snoopers to catch the case & catch the thief red-handed! I always love when a twin-switch helps save the day!

Jess & Lila skip gym class to meet TV star Kent Kellerman. Liz takes off to warn them but only Jess & Lila get caught. As punishment they have to clean blackboards after school & have no after school activities for 2 weeks. This cramps Jess‘s style because she is the star basketball player & the championship game is coming up. She somehow convinces Liz to do a twin switch so she can play in the game. Saint Liz fesses up after Jess wins the ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Championship game and earns MVP while posing as Liz. Liz gets back at her & makes her do Liz‘s punishment for a week. Twin switches are always fun. Jessica is trouble as always but saintly Liz really grinds my gears sometimes lol. 3.5⭐️ #HauntedShelf #TBRread #FrightClub #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #twins #nostalgia 👯‍♀️ 2w

SVMS has its very own bully! Big bad Dennis Cookman spends all his time bullying the entire 6th grade, beating up poor Jimmy Underwood & extorting money from Lila. Aaron, Ken, Jimmy, Liz & Amy come up with a plan to get back at him. Meanwhile, Grace wants to join the Unicorn Club & Jess tasks her with getting Dennis to join her for lunch as an initiation task. Luckily Grace saves the day in the end & saves Dennis‘ life when the Fearless Five‘s⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Plan almost gets Dennis killed. Nothing like a good old flash flood in a cave to take care of a bully! 😆 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #nostalgia #twins #HauntedShelf #FrightClub #TBRread @Jadams89 3w

“Girls couldn't play baseball, or can they?“ This quote challenges the stereotypes of people thinking girls can't do things.

I would use this book in my classroom to discuss women's rights and determination.

This story was published in 2003 and is historical fiction. This book tells the story of a girl who didn't love all of the things a “normal“ girl should love back in the 1940's. She loved baseball instead but no one let girls play baseball. So, she made a league of her one and how she might have played for the first ever All-American Girls Professional Baseball League

Center of Attention | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Mrs. W. is sick & the doctor doesn‘t know what‘s wrong with her. They find a lump on her neck & she has to get tests done. Meanwhile, Mr. W. is on a work trip to NYC, so Jess takes it upon herself to boss Liz & Steven around & do all the housework while their mom is sick. Jess is worried sick that her mom is dying & makes the unfortunate mistake of telling Caroline, the biggest gossip in Sweet Valley. Soon, the whole school thinks Mrs. W. is ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Dying, & Jess basks in being the center of attention, although she is genuinely very worried about her mom. She gets given the lead in the school musical by default because everyone thinks her mom is dying. They finally get the test results back & Mrs. W. doesn‘t have cancer, yay! But soon Jess starts feeling guilty about how she got the lead in the play, & she fesses up & does the right thing. It was nice seeing a softer side to Jessica, who ⬇️ 3w

The 6th & 7th grade class project has each group of students starting a business. Jess is elected president in hers and has about 6 VPs under her 😆 but she has to get a good grade or won‘t be able to go to Kimberley‘s party. Meanwhile, Liz, the patron saint of lost causes, has a new project: Dylan McKay. He‘s the surly older brother of the very popular Tom McKay and he doesn‘t fit in. He‘s a loner & very jealous of all the attention his little⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Bro Tom gets. Liz tries to befriend him when he is assigned to her team in the group project, but no matter what she tries Dylan rebuffs her. Liz sneakily enters his essay into a statewide competition even though he told her to throw it away. Liz & Tom just barely catch Dylan at the bus station, where he‘s about to board a bus for San Francisco and run away from Sweet Valley. Liz informs him he won 1st prize for his essay, he is belatedly ⬇️ 4w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS oh the scream I scrumpt when Amy tells Liz, “Do you have to be nice to everybody?!” 😅 Finally, someone says it! And I love it when Amy‘s high school personality shows through in these books. 😬 4w
