Sweet Valley High #73: Regina's Legacy

Image
The hot new thing at Sweet Valley High is that Jim, that guy who only pops up when they mention Shelley, just started a photography club. Even though Liz never expressed interest in taking pictures before, she's one of the first people who joints up. She takes pictures all the time and lets it become her latest obsession. Jim comes up with an idea to give something back to the school and do a huge mural. They'll all go out and take photos, put the pictures together, and present it to the school. If there's one thing a public high school needs, it's a mural done by a bunch of teenagers who think they are professionals. Thank god there weren't cell phones around back then. They also decide to make it a huge secret, which pisses off a bunch of people, including Shelley. While hanging out at home, she gets a call from Sky Morrow, Regina's mom. She wants to stop by and talk to Liz for a bit. When she shows up, she has a present for Liz that she found

Even though Nancy and Ned had plans to spend his spring break from college at his parents' lake house, she begs off to check out a potential case at Flash , the hottest new teen magazine. Yvonne, who started the company, recently received some threatening letters and think Mick, her art director, is behind it all.

Nancy convinces Yvonne to sneak Ned into the magazine too without telling him. She then can't figure out why he's so unhappy with her. It doesn't help that Nancy doesn't get along with Mick very well. He keeps putting her down all the time, and his sister, Sondra, who also works for the magazine keeps accusing Nancy of being a spy. She finds out that Yvonne loves mystery books and sees a copy of a best seller in Mick's desk. He also does a pho

Apparently, Jessica won a radio contest in the last book and got tickets to Fantasy Forest, some huge amusement park. The contest was only open to kids 13 or older, and Liz freaked out and told them the truth. They were so happy about her being honest that they got enough tickets for their whole family and Joe. When they get to Fantasy Forest, Jessica will not STFU about the Princess Pageant, which is some show where real girls model actually dresses owned and worn by real princesses. It seems like even Alice is tired of hearing this story. The twins want to ride some rides, but the boys want to go on roller coasters. Ned and Alice decide that since the park is “so safe” that they'll let them all go out on their own as long as they meet up for lunch and dinner. The girls head to the Enchanted Castle first for some ride that seems like It's a Small World. Elizabeth thinks she sees someone peeking out from a window on the castle and freaks out, but Jessica convinc
