One of the best SWEET VALLEY HIGH books!
I loved LAST WISH. It was such an incredible book that I couldn't put it down until I finished it (I had borrowed it from my town's library). In LAST WISH, Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are turning 17 years old. Elizabeth wants to throw Jessica a birthday party that Jessica will never forget...and Jessica wants to do the same for Elizabeth, unknowingly that they both want to give each other birthday parties! Through all their secret birthday party planning, it all seems to go smoothly and perfectly until an earthquake shakes Sweet Valley and ruins it all! To find out what happens, you must read this book. An excellent addition to your SWEET VALLEY HIGH collection. Also, check out parts 2 EARTHQUAKE and 3 AFTERSHOCK, to find out the conclusion of this awesome SWEET VALLEY HIGH Super Special Saga.

Stellar! A great read!
This was a fantastic book, one of my fave Sweet Valley books. When I first read it, I coldn't put it down. It kept me in suspense the whole time. I loved the plot of the book and the mystery. Francine Pascal is very clever. Now, it's been a few years since I've read it and I still remember it vividly. This is a wonderful book for anyone who's interested. Francine, keep up the good work and I'll keep reading!
Jessica and Elizabeth's mystery
I read this fabulous book, quiet a while ago but it is real good. It is about the twin sisters Jessica and Elizabeth, when they find a ruby necklace and they get pfomoted to so a scene in a move. It starts geting a litle scary later on, but if you want to know every thing else, you should check it out and you woun't regreat it.
The curse of the ruby neklace
The curse of the ruby neklace written by Francine Pascals is a great book to read. The book is about two teenagers girls who have to solve a mystery of a murder that happen years ago in an abandon mansion.The whole story stars out when elizabeth and her twin sister jessica wakefield get parts as extras in amovie their going to film.The movie is about this two girls Lillian and hilda who were both causins.The part of the movie their trying to film is when lillian is having her birthday party and she gets killed by hilda her own cousin at least that what everybody believes.The plot of the story is when elizabeth and jessica find out who really did killed lillian and clears out hildas name.The roles of the charecters in this story makes the readers think they are for real which makes you get into the book even more. I like the book because it's pretty well explenatory. The author does a great job at making you understand whats going on with the lives of the charecters.One thing that I did not like about the book is the way it ended.I was hoping the ending was going to be a little bit more exiting and scary but it ended up being normal like any other book I read.Other then that I thought the book was very interesting.This book really got my attention because I love reading mystery and scary stories.I like the way the author puts words in your head that creates a picture of whats going on with the life of the characters and the story itself.The curse of the ruby neklace is a fabulous book to read I would recomended to everybody.

A kidnapped friend...
Gaia Moore is just eating donuts and being normal when she gets a mysterious phone call telling her to check her e-mail. So she does. But she wasn't expecting what's in her inbox. It's a video of Sam Moon, her true love, battered, bruised, and bloody, dying while tied up to a chair. He calls her name throughout the video, while words go across the screen telling her that she will find a package on her doorstep. Within this package she finds a note, instructing her to play the tape in first period at school. It was nothing anyone would've expected (especially Heather). Then other tasks come. She is informed that if she wants Sam to live, she has to perform various cruel acts before a certain time. She has no choice. She must do all of the tasks, whether it's insulting Ed--or murder. I recommend this book for fans of the first two books, fans of Fingerprints by Melinda Metz, and older fans of Replica by Marilyn Kaye.

really exciting book
Gaia is sitting at the kitchen table, eating donuts with Ed, when she gets a mysterious phone call, and is told to check her e-mail. She rushes to the computer where she sees a video of Sam tied up, and he is all battered up. She then is told she must do certain tasks throughout the day, and if she succeeds, Sam will live. The kidnapper tells her to pick up a package on her front steps and she is to show it in homeroom. From then on, Gaia has to perform certain tasks(with the help of Ed) and has to be done by 10:00 that night. The tasks she has to perform are dangerous and cruel, but Gaia will do anything to save her beloved Sam. Although, Heather ends up finding out about Sam, and tries to help(though she really didn't). Heather just gets in the way so Gaia and Ed end up getting rid of her(they play a joke on her)hehe. After that Gaia moves on to other tasks as fast as she can so she can get to Sam.
The book was exciting, and it kept me on edge the entire time. If you liked the first two books, then you have to read number 3. It makes you want to read non-stop, but then when you finish, you wish there was more to read.

AWESOME!!!!
This Fearless book was the best so far!
Heather isn't in too good of shape...she's also blind now too. She really needs Gaia...
Loki as we know, took the injection, but now he's affectected by it too. Will he take the counterthing to save himself? Or will he die?
If your a Gaia n Ed fan, your gonna love this book! hehehe, I'll include myself as a fan;-) Gaia finally stops lying to Ed, and well...
Tom finally gets ahold of Loki (Oliver) long enough to tell him that Gaia can't be his daughter.
And, there's even a more surprising end!!!! You will be TOTALLY AMAZED!!!!
YOU MUST READ!!!!
(I'll give ya a hint...Will Ed pop the question?)
lol, I know...I'm soooo evil and cruel...
ahhhh!!
this is by far the best fearless book! just when you think these books are crap and you should give up hope DONT!!! this one rocks and will leave you begging for more!!! the love is back between ed and gaia!! we finally find ou who her real father is!!! and we finally start to like heather, she is blinded by the injection !! the ending was good i just hope tom is ok and i want to know what happened to him!! the very last chapter is the best! it is a total revalation! it is from someones point of view who hasnt been in the books for awhile and who we believe is dead!! and if you have the book with the blurp from # 25! you will not believe it you must read this book!! i cant wait for 25!!
Cheating on Anna

i loved this book!
This book was great! I think Salvador and Elizabeth need to hook up, i mean if their going to be happy together, which they probably would be since they like each other, then Anna should be happy for them. I mean whats her deal anyway she needs to stop feeling sorry for herself and get a clue.
Great!!!!!!
Salvador isn't really cheating on Anna. I know that they havebeen friends for a long time, but they needed to make new ones, andSalvador and Elizabeth are becoming more than just friends. Salvador is totally in love with Elizabeth. He is misleading Anna a little bit. Can't wait for the next one!!!!!
Anna is Jealous!!!
I think Anna is just jealous because she is not prettier than Elizabeth. She knew that Salvador likes Elizabeth like a girlfriend and her like a friend which is not a bad thing. I can feel Anna's pain, but come on! If Salvador likes Elizabeth better as a girlfriend, Anna should'nt toy with his feelings.

One of the Best Sweet Valley Twins Books
I've started reading sweet valley twins a long time ago when i was about 8 years old. This is my favorite book of the series and i still love it. On christmas Eve Jessica and Elizabeth get into a huge fight. The next day their grandparents give them too magic dolls, and soon they get transported to another land. but not together . With their dolls who turn into princes. The story is about them trying to find eachother and get back home. Its a great book filled with humor, adventure and even some romance. It might even make you cry its so touching! read it!
Even when I've outgrown Sweet Valley...
This is one of those books that you would think I would retire. I'm almost 21, a literature major, but yet I can't part with this one Sweet Valley book. This is one of the only books I could read twice in one day and still love. I've read it so many times, and it is one of my favorite books. Unfortunately it's out of print, but fortunately I still have my copy. This is seriously one of the best books I've ever read, even though it is geared towards elementary school kids. I make a point of it to read it at least once a year. It is a magical tale... magic in the genre (which is pretty much fantasy), and magic in the way it makes me feel (all warm and tingley inside) and magic in the values it has molded upon me. Jessica and Elizabeth, the famed twins, try to (unknowingly) show off to one another for their Christmas gifts... Elizabeth writes Jessica a story about a memory that she has, and Jessica actually saves money to take Elizabeth to a concert. When Jessica doesn't appreciate the story and Elizabeth cannot make a concert, they get into a huge fight. Christmas eve, they're given two dolls that belonged to their great-aunts that contain a riddle. The twins (through a magic of some sort...) solve the riddle at the same time, and ...
A Magical Journey
When Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield give each other perfect present for each other, they argue about who is being selfish. This leads to the dolls.
To help stop arguing, their grandparents give them twins dolls! Dolls are for babies, the think. Then when they solve a riddle, magic unfolds. An evil sorcerer and two princes are the main focus. Will the twins ever get back to Sweet Valley? And more important - will they ever see each other again?

cool
i read this a few months ago when i was 11, i think it's a cool book, a typical sweet valley book, but i love sv books, jessica is my favourite charactor anyway, well my friend lended it to me, and i couldn't put it down! i was reading it during dinner! it wasn't that sad, but i didn't really particulary like the ending, i wish jessica didn't dump aj :> oh well
It was an Awesome Book!
This book is one that will never get dull. I read over and over again and each time, something new stands out. It was just like reading my diary. I could really relate to the character's reactions and problems.
The surprises of love, life and school!
Life is full of little surprises and you never know when one can happen. This story is about Jessica Wakefield and her little surprises of life. This book shares her feelings and thoughts about love,(one of her major surprises) life and school. My opinion on this book is that it was well written and seemed to be realistic. It's one of those books that you just can't put down! In the Sweet Valley High series there is another diary by Jessica. That one is probably the better of the two. I guess I would rate it a 10! I suggest this book to anyone who likes to read about love, life and school! If you don't like the book I'll be very surprised

That best part of the series yet!
This book was so WONDERFUL! I told the whole history behind Oliver,Tom and Katia. Also finally Gaia knows and understands why her father can't be with her and she knows for sure who is Loki. I love this book because I was getting a bit tired of the series it became annoying but now that I read this I won't miss a new installment. I love this book and I refer it to any fearless fan.
Before Gaia
This book really cleared up a lot of things for me!! It told about Gaia's whole history...she is AMAZING isn't she? The only problem I had with this book was that I didn't know when to read it. Because in the regular Fearless books (I've read #1-24 already) it doesn't say when she does all the stuff in Before Gaia so I was a little confused about when to read it. Because if she really did all that stuff then she wouldn't have been confused at all about her mother and who murdered her and who her father is and all tha stuff. And there's really no one in the book to give clues as when to read it. Do you get what I'm saying? So I read it anyway but once I finished it it was like she forgot everything she learned in Before Gaia, you know? Oh well...I read it and loved it just like I loved all the other books in the series. All the books were great!!! I read 11books in the series in 1 week. If you want to start reading the series I suggest you start all the way at the beginning or you won't get the full meaning of each book and how hard Gaia has it. And when you go to the book store to pick up #1 don't just get #1 get a whole bunch of them (but in order) cause once you start one you wont be able to put it down and then when you finish it you'll want to keep going. They are all fantastic books and Gaia is the best main character for the books because she's got it all...the looks, the brains, and her survival skills...kicking ***. Read them all!! You'll love them. Pascal you rock!!!
Interesting
I thought this book might be boring compared to the rest of the Fearless books. I've never found Tom's or Loki's parts of the books that interesting. But I bought this book because I am a huge Fearless fan. I was wrong that it would be boring and despite the title, Gaia is included in the book. I learned so much about her history and Tom's and Oliver's history (how they became enemies). The story was very interesting and easy to get through and now Gaia has the truth about many of the things in her past. If you like Fearless, I recommend you read it. Also, I think you need to read this book in order to continue with the series.

It's a great book, you can't miss it
Jessica and Elizabetht have a huge party but their parents don't let them go because they say they are too little. Then, they both wish they could be big. When they wake up in the morning something weird happens. If you want to find out what happened to them read the book!!!
All grown up!
This book was VERY good. I loved it! It starts off as the twins are invited to this great, big Christmas bash of the year. Of course, the best part was that there was going to be high school guys there! But when they're parents say they're too young for a high school/middle school party, they're hopes and excitments vanish. But that night before they go to bed, they wish they were all grown up so that they could make they're own decisions and not be bossed around by grown ups all the time! When the following morning arrives, they realize they're wishes came true and thats when the adventure and excitment begins! Read this book! You'll love it! I guarantee! :) ~Samantha~
All the Wakefield twins want is to grow up.
This book is a very interesting book for the normal teenager. It is about Jessica and Elizabeth Wakfield. All they want to do is to go to a party with some of the Unicorns an d High School Students. But there brother doesn't want them to go and tell their parents it will be to wild for them. When they don't get to go they make a wish at a local winter carnival to be big and independent. Christmas morning they get their wish. Many weird and unusual things happen while they are grown up

A rollercoaster of emotions...
Starting off where Love left off, Gaia finds herself trapped with her uncle, or rather, Loki. Still confused on who to trust, Loki capitalizes on her confusion and continues to feed Gaia lie upon lie upon lie in order to get her to cooperate with him. Loki ends up convincing Gaia to take a shot that will allow her to become "normal". In other words, she will be able to feel fear. Gaia has to deal with the after affects of the syrum she is given, and the reader is taken on an emotional rollercoaster as we follow Gaia through her ordeal. We see many sides of Gaia, due to the affects of the shot given to her by her sadistic uncle, that we have never seen before: jealousy, paranoia, and most disturbing of all, fear.
I gave this book only four stars and not the full five because Gaia is not herself through the majority of this book. It is very interesting, although most of the time a little annoying, to see Gaia so out of character. There is one consolation: If you like Gaia and Ed together, as I do, you will definitely enjoy this book. And you get a glimps of the next addition, Sex, which is definitely worth going through the book to get to. ;) In short, although the story is a little trying, it is worth reading in the long run.

One of the best books in the Fearless series.
Gaia Moore has never experienced fear. Being fearless is what makes her unique -- and dangerous. But she's always wanted to have a taste of what fear is like. And when Loki offers her the chance to finally experience what it's like to be normal through a new drug, Gaia finds it hard to refuse. Although she doesn't trust Loki or Tom, she knows that Loki is the one who is giving her the freedom of getting away. But another thing she has to think about is Ed. Ed is the only person in the world who is her one true friend, and Gaia fears he may die soon because of her.
She's already lost her mother, her friend Mary, and now Sam. And Gaia will do anything to stop his murder. Fearless #19: Twins is among the best in this thrilling series, keeping you in suspense until the end. It makes some changes in the series as well, and is well-written with a new twist of surprises. You won't be able to put it down.

Love and Nightmares
This book is a follow up of our dear Gaia who has just found out about her uncle and his decietful ways, and of her beloved Sam.
Loki trying to get Gaia to "trust" him, has put in her blood a syrum capable of creating nightmares in order to make Gaia feel "fear". A lot of questions will be answered in this book like: What happened to Heather after helping Gaia? Will she return to Ed? and How is life after Sam?
I loved this book, as i own all 19 (soon to be 20) books. But something that i dislike, but i have to explain, is the idea of Gaia after Sam... Everyone loved the idea of the two and they wanted everything for them. Their love was too perfect, too right, and with this the world had to keep them apart. The thing that "ticks" me off is that Sam wanted to wait until Gaia returned from her trip. They just should have done what they wanted to do, but also it was right to not do "it". Their love was too right, too perfect (sorry for the redundents) that the anticipation was all they needed and that is all they are going to have. Ed has some big shoes to fill.
Another thing i dislike is that as soon as you start to hate someone (like Ella) the redeem themselves and then get taken out of the picture, and Heather it is too hard to decide whether to hate her or deal with her.
Well, sorry guys i liked the book, but i have personal dislikes,(what do you get from an avid reader). Enjoy the book, you'll love it... Please read them all if you haven't trust me it's real good.
