OMG I think so.. The best was still the book when the cheerleaders got kidnapped by the crazy coach! Oh so dramatic. Ha did you ever watch the series on KTV..? It was so awful!

My mom forced me, aged 18 to sell my 100+ collection of Sweet Valley High & Middle, and those freakish College ones were Elizabeth finally breaks up with Todd (Aaron?!) to Tommy’s in Long Street cos they were taking up too much space. My poor precious childhood heirlooms.

That’s so bizarre – I blogged about Sweet Valley High a few days ago. Albeit very briefly. http://lotsofdifferentstuff.blogspot.com/2010/07/parts-of-past.html

I’d be interested in seeing what Francine Pascal has up her sleeve. Although I’d be more interested in finding a couple of old SVH books and trying those out. Even though from where I now stand, it’s probably much like reading See Spot Run.

Nice post, CTG!

i was also absolutely addicted to these (as was every other girl i knew). better yet my best friends in real life are twins and one of them is called jessica (and she was exactly like the jessica in the book) & her twin was exactly like elizabeth. we thought that was so brilliant…

oh man! it’s all flooding back to me now. their ‘perfect size six’ figures and ’sparkling blue-green eyes’.

it was basically beverley hills 90210 + california barbie in book form. so sweet and innocent if you compare it to what the tweens are reading now-a-days.
