Sweet Valley Twins #24: Jumping to Conclusions

Image
Jessica and Elizabeth plan a special dinner for their parents' anniversary. Jess actually makes a bunch of food, Steven picks up a cake, the twins decorate the house, and Liz finds the cake topper from their wedding cake. When Ned and Alice get home though, they're mainly surprised that they both completely forgot about their anniversary. They laugh it off but it makes Jessica wonder. Those wonders turn to worries when she realizes how much time her mom's been spending with her new client, Mr. Howard. He's one of the richest men in California and apparently looks like a movie star too. He comes by the house to drop some stuff off and keeps calling Alice all the time. Jessica tries to talk to Elizabeth, but she doesn't really seem to buy it. That all changes when Liz starts a living history project with Pamela and Amy. They all decide to interview their parents and find out how they met. Every time she tries to talk to her parents, they blow her...

Sweet Valley High #113: The Pom-Pom Wars

Jessica is totes sad about losing her squad to that evil bitch Heather Malone and depressing it up at home when she finds photos of Liz and Ken. After going through her twin's diary, she finds out about the torrid affair they had when Todd first moved away. Before she can mope too much though, Ken stops by to cheer her up and suggests that she start her own squad. Even though this makes no sense to me, she thinks it's a great idea and even teases Liz about joining the squad. Liz pretty much tells her that she'd rather be covered in honey and ants than cheer. Jess gets Sandy and Maria, the two girls Heather dropped from the squad, and Lila to join her new one. They then announce the try outs to the whole school and target some of the girls they like the best, namely dancers. Jessica and Lila make a bet. If Liz tries out for the squad, Lila will buy uniforms for everyone, but if she doesn't, Jess gets the bill. Jess then blackmails Liz into trying out, tel...

The Baby-Sitters Club #48: Jessi's Wish

Image
Becca comes home upset because the Kids' Club she's in might have to shut down. One of the club sponsors plans on taking an extended trip with her husband and the club can't survive with only one sponsor. After giving it some thought, Jessi offers to take her place. The teacher isn't too sure but agrees to let her help on a trial basis. Jessi goes back to the BSC and suggests that they all take a month off to do some volunteer work. Surprisingly everyone, including Kristy, agrees. One of the members of the Kids' Club, Danielle, left because she had cancer. The kids did a fundraising drive to give the kids in the hospital toys. Danielle writes them back and lets them know that she gets to come home soon. When she does come back, no one is really sure how to treat her or what to do around her. Naturally, Becca and Charlotte who never really knew her are the ones who make her feel home again. Jessi bonds with Danielle too and learns that she really only...
