Mary is Missing | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Pickpick

When Mary misses 3 days of school & an important Unicorn meeting, Jessica starts to worry. When Steven botches a phone message & the twins find a newspaper at the mall missing the words: “Your daughter is safe. Don‘t call the police.” Plus Mary‘s bear is in her room, it all adds up to Mary being kidnapped for the second time in her 13 years. Liz & Amy stalk a suspicious woman from the library to a creepy house & have a stakeout. Over the top fun!

Amy's Pen Pal | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Pickpick

For an unspecified holiday weekend in #SweetValley, plenty of fun plans are made— Lila‘s hosting a big party, the Wakefields are having a bbq & a SVH senior will have a live show at the mall to announce the winner of the contest to name his new show! Amy hasn‘t heard from her pen pal, Samantha, in a while so she‘s shocked when she shows up from San Francisco to stay for the long weekend. It‘s all fun until Sam ditches Amy for the Unicorns!

JenlovesJT47 I remember this one! Have you been keeping track of all of the holidays in your read through? I so wish I had done that when I did my SVH read through. It‘s mind-bending how many Christmases and summers they have 😅 2d
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 It‘s another good one! I have been keeping track of the holidays! I am also looking forward to keeping track of the number of dead boyfriends in SVH and SVU!! 🤣 2d
JenlovesJT47 Omg so many dead boyfriends! 😅 I‘m partial to Sam myself but I can think of 3 off the top of my head. Sam, James, Christian. Can‘t wait to read The Evil Twin for the 50th time this Christmas! Man, Jessica should be in therapy for life! 😂 2d

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I know!! I loved The Evil Twin, too! I remember reading it the first time and just gasping out loud and then excitedly explaining the entire plot to my mom! 🤣 And yes, I am really curious to see exactly how many dead boyfriends Jessica really had!! 2d
JenlovesJT47 I have a question. Have you ever seen Some Kind of Wonderful with Lea Thompson? 1d
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 No, I haven‘t— but I‘ve always loved her! It looks like I can watch it over Amazon Prime though! 1d
JenlovesJT47 Ok do you have an original copy of A Night To Remember? Watch the movie then look at the pics on the inside flap. I could swear the guy that‘s supposed to be Sam has GOT to be the guy that plays the bully Hardy Jens in the movie. But I could never find any proof of that! Just like I‘m pretty sure Courtenay Cox was the model for Annie Whitman in one of the early SVH books 1d
JenlovesJT47 And as a bonus, Some Kind of Wonderful is a great movie! 1d
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Ohh! You might be right about Courtney Cox!! And I do have my original copy, so I‘ll have to do a comparison!! I have seen some of the photos the cover art is based on, but I can‘t find the article now, of course— but if I run across it again, I‘ll send it to you! 1d
JenlovesJT47 Thanks! I think I tagged a pic of it when I did my review, let me look. 1d

The one in which Lila and Liz use each other. Oh, and there‘s a horse! 🐴 Lila gets a fancy new horse named Thunder from her dad, but isn‘t very interested in his day-to-day care. Liz LOVES horses and agrees to write an article about Lila & Thunder for the school paper. Lila gets Liz to share her homework and Liz goes to the stables every day to ride Thunder. Jess gets jealous of how much time Liz & Lila are spending with each other. Oh, and ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 There‘s a sweet but poor stable boy named Ted that Jess has a crush on. Liz accidentally spills the tea to the Unicorns about Ken & Amy kissing at a party, & Amy is so upset she accidentally on purpose tells Lila that Liz is entering Thunder in a competition at the stables. There‘s a confrontation but it all works out in the end. Ted rides Thunder in the competition instead (and wins!) and decides to buy Thunder from Lila, who is by this point ⬇️ 3d
JenlovesJT47 Growing bored with him. And Jess has her nice moment with Ted. 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #nostalgia #twins 👯‍♀️🐴 3d

#SweetValleyTwinsSuperChiller books were always my favorites! In this second #SweetValleyChristmas for the 6th graders, Elizabeth works for a fundraiser for the children‘s wing of the hospital & asks teen Hollywood star Beau Dillon for help but Jessica plans to meet him instead, leading to a re-imagining of #AChristmasCarol as Jessica is visited by her 2nd grade self, a unicorn of the present & a scary future without friends (but still fashion)!

JenlovesJT47 Man I haven‘t read this one in so long! 👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻 Do you have a list of the SVT books in publication order? 3d
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 This was one of my favorites, for sure! I don‘t have an official list but I have been trying my best to read each series in publication order just based on the published dates— usually they come out one a month, so if the next number skipped a month, I start looking at the supers to see which one is from that missing month! 3d

Lol here‘s another alternate cover. 😅 #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #nostalgia #twins #funny #alternatecovers

TorieStorieS 🤣🤣🤣 It does look like that!! But worst of all is that I am certain that I had a school picture in 3rd or 4th grade with that exact outfit (though my sweater was unicorn purple!🤣) 5d
TorieStorieS Where did you find these gems?? 5d
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I don‘t remember where I found them, I found the screenshots on my phone from a few years ago. I have more! But I will post them when I get to the books in my read through. There are some more good ones lol. 5d
TorieStorieS I‘m looking forward to seeing them!! So fun!! 4d

Mary Giaccio is spending more and more time at the Wakefield house, and Jessica is not happy about it. She notices Mary following Mrs. W around a lot and always inviting herself over. Mary is a foster child and it turns out Mrs. W looks uncannily like her real mother, whom she is sure is still out there looking for her. Sure enough, Mary‘s mom shows up at the end and we hear the whole sordid tale of how Mary was kidnapped at age 4 by her ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Mother‘s friend, Annie. Annie changed Mary‘s last name then abandoned her a few months later, and Mary has been in foster care ever since. Mary‘s mom was able to find her when Annie was recently arrested for shoplifting and they are then able to connect the dots. Like @TorieStorieS said, it‘s straight out of a soap opera! 😆 Luckily, Mary is reunited with her mother and they also decide to stay in Sweet Valley. 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins 5d
TorieStorieS Mary‘s storylines are always straight from the soaps!! Plus she is the only Sweet Valleyer to have three last names!! 🤣 5d

Jessica, the Rock Star | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne
post image
Pickpick

After winning front row seats at Secca Lake to see Melody Power, Jessica is determined to be a rock star. Copying Melody‘s most outrageous outfits & gravelly voice, Jessica beats out the competition for a new band needing a singer, but only because she offers up the Wakefield basement as practice space! NRG doesn‘t sound great— least of all “Gem‘s” singing. Finally, she listens to herself & songs in her own voice to be the best part of the band!

Elizabeth's New Hero | Francine Pascal

In one of the more dated installments, Caroline Pearce brags about one of the East German gymnasts who will be staying with her family for two weeks. But when her grandmother gets sick, Christoph Beckman stays with the next family on the list— the Wakefields! Though Steven initially thinks Christoph is a spy, soon they all warm up to him & his enthusiasm for all things American. Christoph loves more than gymnastics & starts to make plans to stay!

JenlovesJT47 Lol I‘ve never read this one, sounds funny! 😆 5d
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I am actually not sure if I had ever read this one before now, either! It really didn‘t feel familiar at all! Also, the title was originally advertised as The Wakefield‘s Visitor but it was changed for some reason… and I am not sure that he‘s Elizabeth‘s hero!! 🤣 5d
JenlovesJT47 Lol I‘ll look forward to reading this one 😆 funny they thought he was a spy but it‘s a sign of the times and I was so little when this came out I don‘t remember much about it. 5d
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 It‘s a fun one! Plus it came out only a few months before the Berlin Wall came down! 5d
