Sweet Valley High #35: Out of Control

Image
Aaron Dallas is totes out of control. He came home from school one day to find his parents waiting for him. After having an affair with a man, his mom decided to leave his dad for this other guy and move across the country with him. His dad kind of shut down after that. Aaron is now super aggressive and always in a bad mood. That makes thing tough for Elizabeth, given that this is one of those Jeffery books and his best friend is Aaron. They go out on a double date with Aaron and his girlfriend Heather. Heather kind of seems like a Jessica clone, but for some reason, Liz can't stand her. She *gasps* talks during the movie and then wants to chat when they go for ice cream. Liz finally tells her that she's private and doesn't like to talk about herself (ha!), which leaves them sitting there in silence. It doesn't help when Aaron fights with some guy and Heather does baby talk to calm him down. After another altercation on the soccer field, the coach tells Aar

Justin and Marissa are stuck in the middle of an icy wilderness trying to find their dad. Their sled dogs take them out further until they see something glowing in the woods. They suddenly find themselves stuck on a piece of ice and floating off in the ocean. No worries though. It's actually just a story their dad is telling them. Their dad is Richard Clarke, this super famous adventurist and writer. He brought his kids out into the middle of nowhere to search for the lost legend. He won't tell them much about it except that if they find it, they'll never need money again. When they fall asleep that night, the kids hear something in the woods. It turns out that it's a silver dog. Marissa freaks out and tells him not to touch it because it might be a wolf. Since Justin loves animals though, he starts petting it. The dog has a note tied to its collar that says to follow "Silverwolf." They run to tell their dad about it, but they can't wake him

Cara and Mark are throwing a last minute party when she takes the time to think about things. Their young, very young as she keeps saying, parents are computer specialists who always accept jobs in new cities and then join a bunch of clubs to meet new people instead of spending time with their kids. They had a fight that morning because they thought Mark spent too much time with his new girlfriend Gena. A random cop shows up on the doorstep in an unmarked car. He acts a little shifty when asking about her parents and says there was a robbery a few houses down. After giving her his card and asking her to call anytime, he gets in his car which barely makes a sound, and leaves. Cara figures that's the perfect time to end the party. Both think it's weird that their parents aren't home and didn't call until they find that the phone is out. They then a hear footsteps upstairs and freak out until their cousin Rogers walks out. Turns out that he moved in and
