I have literally read this book at least six times to write a recap for it and never got around to it. There is something about the book that annoys me, so this might be a short one. The big carnival just came to town, and even though it's the day after Christmas, Jessica is already bored. She convinces their parents to give them a bigger allowance so they can do more at the carnival. Jess and Liz both go on opening day and decide to go through the haunted house. At the end, they can go through a graveyard or a vampire's room and decide to split up. Elizabeth swears that she hears someone whisper in her ear, and she exits through an open grave. She sees a girl in an old-fashioned white dress right before Jessica pops up. Jessica later meets Ms. Z, the fortuneteller. She gives her a bunch of advice and makes her think that she's the real deal. Jess brings back the Unicorns, and Lila acts like a little beyotch. She makes them spend all night at the g...

Since it's been a few books since Sweet Valley had an underprivileged person, we get this book. Dana Larson, who we all know is the lead singer of The Droids, has an unknown cousin named Sally coming for a visit. Sally was just a little kid when her mom up and left her, and the Larsons were nice enough to let her float around in foster homes for 10+ years before deciding, hey, we should let her come stay with us. Dana is excited at the idea of having a new sister, but her brother Jeremy could care less. His parents made him give us his room next to Dana and gave him the entire attic, which has its own separate entrance. No teenage boy in history would ever turn down that room, but he mopes and whines like they're making him sleep in a tent in the yard. Things don't go exactly the way that everyone planned. Sally is so worried about getting sent back that she tries to do what everyone wants her to do instead of what she wants. Dana pressure her into joining The ...
