Sweet Valley High #40: On the Edge

Image
You have no idea how much I looked forward to finally, finally recapping this one. Regina Morrow is one of the most beautiful girls in Sweet Valley High. Daughter of a former professional athlete and a fashion model, she was also deaf before having a miraculous surgery that restored her hearing. Now she's back in Sweet Valley and in love with Bruce Patman. Bruce doesn't feel the same way, according to Amy Sutton. Ever since the two paired up to work together on a class project, there's been love in the air. She delights in telling her friends all about her relationship with another girl's boyfriend. Jessica doesn't really believe it until the other cheerleaders tell her that Bruce saw her in the hallway and couldn't keep his eyes off her. Elizabeth thinks that someone should tell Regina what's going on before she hears it through the grapevine. Not her, god, not her. No, she thinks Bruce should tell her. She's perfectly fine lectur...

It's Halloween night in Spooksville, and the gang goes to a party thrown by this guy Bryce. He swears that he lives alone, and while they don't necessarily believe it, they do notice that everything in the house seems to belong to him and that there's only one bedroom out of three that anyone uses. Bryce and Sally bot go as vampires, Adam wears a sheet to be a ghost, Watch goes as Sherlock Holmes, and Cindy is a fairy princess.

Ann warns her that she may find herself in a dangerous place by the end of the night. While out wandering around town, they come across Dead Lane. There's apparently only one house on it at the...

Sweet Valley Twins #37: The War Between the Twins

Jessica Wakefield can't wait to see her first news article in print. After multiple complaints that the Sixers didn't cover the Unicorns enough, Liz finally agreed to let her twin write a story. She could put in anything she wanted as long as it didn't go over 200 words. Jessica shows a copy to the Unicorns, and they're all excited about it. Julie and Elizabeth get stuck putting the paper together. Turns out that it was a super busy news week, and they almost don't have enough space. Just before the paper goes to bed, Mr. Bowman rushes in with a big story. Some coach broke his leg, and it's such an important story that it needs to go on the front page. Liz has no choice but to cut Jessica's story. She plans to tell her twin that night, but she spends the night working on a project with Lila, and this is way too important for her twin to tell her over the phone. Liz plans to tell Jessica before homeroom, but her twin is so excited that she s...
