Fear Street: Switched (R.L. Stine)

Image
Part One: The Switch Nicole has the worst life ever. Her parents care about her so much that they ask her to call when she's going to be late and make her stick to a curfew. One of her teachers told her that she won't graduate if she doesn't turn in a paper that she didn't even bother doing. Even though it was due that week, he lets her have an entire weekend to work on it. What a drag. Oh and her boyfriend doesn't know what she's thinking so he breaks up with her. Poor girl. At the end of the school day, she runs into her best friend Lucy. Lucy has a super cute boyfriend named Kent but her parents fight all the time and don't have time for her. Lucy comes up with a great idea: they'll switch bodies. She takes her deep into Fear Street Woods and shows her the Changing Wall that her grandfather told her about. They climb on top, hold hands, and jump over the side. When they open their eyes, they really are in different bodies. Nicol

Part One: Where is the Evil? Kimmy, Ronnie, and Debra are out driving around and talking about what happened in the first book. They mention how Corky dropped off the squad after her sister's death and how no one is really sure what happened that night.

Once she calms down a little, she offers them some hot chocolate. She thinks she sees the same man outside, but by the time she tells the others, there's no one there. They try to convince her to rejoin the squad and hang out for awhile before leaving, but Debra decides to stick around. She's the only one who believes something supernatural happened that night, and she wants to talk to Corky about it. When she gets up to check on the kettle for hot chocolate, she reaches for the kettle and something makes her pour the boiling hot

The Unicorn Club #2: Maria's Movie Comeback

In case you didn't know, Maria Slater is one of the best actresses in the world. After a long career, she reached that awkward age when actresses can't find work, and she and her family moved to Sweet Valley. She also became a member of the Unicorn Club after they chilled out and the evil Janet went to high school. In the first book, they had a prank war and did some damage to the school. Now, they need to come up with money to replace the principal's toupee and paint the school lockers. Mandy comes up with a good idea. Some new thrift store just opened, and the owner needs someone to watch it for a few hours every day, conveniently right after school. She and Maria go over after school the next day, and it turns out that Maria once worked with the owner. She was a big star but lost out on roles when she got older. She didn't have the money to live in Beverly Hills, but she had money to buy a house and open a store in Sweet Valley. Her granddaughter Evie was
