Young Adult Revisited

SVMS boys' soccer team just made it to the Division A section. That means nothing to me but is somehow a huge deal at their school. Before tryouts for the team, the boys say that they'll dedicate each goal they make to the girl they like. Aaron scores three goals to Jessica, but Lila says it doesn't matter because sixth graders never, ever make the team. Lila and Jessica are currently fighting because this book happens right after the psychic sisters one where the twins were on television and Lila is still jealous even though she says she isn't jealous. Elizabeth gets called into Mr. Bowman's office because of an article she wrote on two kids getting thrown out of a local candy store. The owner of the store flips out because she only threw them out because they started a food fight before, but Liz never bothered to get her side of the story. She writes a retraction that puts the blame on the boys, only to find out that it was actually two completely diffe

Let's go all the way back to the very beginning with the very first Nancy Drew book ever!

They thought Josiah would leave them enough to care for her, but the only will ever found left nothing to them. The two women also reveal that someone stole their silver candle

The BSC, minus Kristy and Mallory, are off to Hawaii for summer. Kristy can't go because Watson already planned to take the whole family later in the year, and Mallory can't go because her family can't afford it. To twist the knife in a little further, Jessi decides to create a diary for her that shows her everything they did on their trip. Mallory: Speaking of Mallory, she gets the luck of the draw to sit for Jenny at the same time that Jenny's parents decide she has way, way, way (way?) too much freedom. They now let her throw tantrums but won't give in and ask that Mallory do the same thing. Jenny throws a fit at home, gets over it, and then throws a mega fit at the park. Some random woman sees and lectures Mallory about how Jenny is clearly in pain and needs attention. Since Kristy got them all BSC shirts and Mal is wearing hers, the woman sees it and calls the next day to lecture them again. Mallory goes back to the park later and sees some little
