I liked this book a lot. It was very interesting.
Later, Jessica remembered she had to do her art project. She took Elizabeth's earings. The earings were her art project. In school, every thought the earings were the coolest thing. Jessica said it was her idea, but it's not. She starts selling the earings! One day when Jessica was gathering acorns. (She needed acorns because the earings were made out of them. She was making more of earings to sell.) Elizabeth saw her gathering them and she asked why. Jessica said it was for a baby squirrel. (That's a lie!) Elizabeth wrote it in the school newspaper called The Sixers. Everyone is voting for Jessica to be The Sweet Valley Middle School Queen of Halloween! She doesn't deserve it. How can Elizabeth let everyone know SHE made the earings and Jessica lied?
You see, Elizabeth makes these totally beautiful, cool and funky earrings. Of course, even though she's not really cruel, Jessica criticizes the earrings and hurts Elizabeth's feelings. So Elizabeth throws them away, which was totally WRONG.
Then Jessica suddenly has an idea and uses the earrings as "her" art project because she couldn't think of anything that could be a suitable project. Everybody at school oohs and aahs, so Jessica pretends they're her IDEA. There are a lot of twists and turns.. Let me just say that it's really great and that it reminds me of "The Telltale Heart". Read the book, because you won't regret it. L8er! ^_^

However, these are new days. And Gaia seems to have fallen into another one of the Orginization's little schemes, even with Loki gone. We meet some interesting new characters, ones that I'm positive will be showing up again in the near future. And one highly entertaining, to say the least, revelation is made. Jake plays an interesting role in the book, a much larger one. (Didn't you just see that one coming?) As well as "Ana," a.k.a. Tatiana.
I, personally, don't understand the "Super Edition" books at all. After the first one, the series continued on as though that book had never happend. Until, ofcoarse this one. This is the only book since then that I've heard Gaia make any reference to the Saints and Sailors monument-any of it. However in this one we atleast have some conception of when it's taking place, and in the previous one, nil.
All in all, it's a pretty good book. Francine really gives us the runaround though and it gets really confusing. However by the end, it's just another messed up chapter in Gaia's life. I think the only really good that's going to come of the events in this book later on are the characters.
I found Gaia's newfound mental desposition more than a little irritating, but it was I guess nice to see her so out of it for a change. It makes you appreciate the Gaia we're all used to so much more.
By the time I got to the end, I found myself like Jake more and more. I'd been intrigued with him ever since #25. Now he's definitely considered someone to cheer for. And although he doesn't take Sam's place in my heart, I do consider him a nice break from the emotional storm that is her relationship with the other men in her life.
We don't get any information on Tom's whereabouts or Loki's condition, but we do oddly get some kind of "insight" into Katia's mortality. The book gets so convincing at times that I found myself second-guessing Gaia's past right along with her.
The ending is so unbelieveably climactic and shocking that it just blew me away. We also find out how far the Organization is willing to go to secure a stake in the Moore family, it seems for much longer than we dared thought. Gaia isn't the only target it seems.
I won't spoil the surprise, but I will say that this does rival Super #1 in its ability to deconstruct your expectations, while simultaeously building up all kinds of new facts that the reader most likely never considered in their wildest dreams. I recommend buying this today.
The time period of this book seems to be right after SHOCK. The only character present in this book from the series is Jake, the mysterious new guy. I must say though after reading this book Jake entered the same league as Ed and Sam in my mind. It looks like Gaia might actrually find true love in a guy you would have never thought of. Jake definitely does have more in common with her.
Anyway can't wait to read the next Fearless and see how this Super Edition fits in. Definitely will enjoy Jake much more!

While single Jessica wants Evan and wants Liz to stop cheating on Conner and not liking Evan instead. But I say that Miss Jessica has to stop being ALL jealous of everyone that wants someone that she has to like.
She should mind her own business, in fact. In this book, I actually feel sorry for Melissa. It is a good thing that she starts to "move on" without Will. Conner finally apologizes to Tia and Elizabeth. Which I thought it was loyal of him.
Evan and Liz should be a couple. Well, because he's a fun, smart, and a humorous perosn to hang with. If I were Liz, I would go for it. Maybe he has long hair and all, but I think that they would be a great couple.
But Conner was never the kind of guy that would give Liz comfort and a lot of funtime with him. I'm actually surprised that Melissa goes to the dance with Ken. But I say that Ken should back together with Maria. Until she's not crabby or anything to him.
Oh, and Tia and Liz finally make up. Andy has to improve his grades with going to college and all. SO this book was okay.
Now, this is what I would give to the main characters in this book with their attitude and all.
Jessica: 3 stars/out of 5
Elizabeth:4/5
Evan: 5/5
Conner: 4/5
Andy: 5/5
Melissa: 4/5
Will: 1/5 LOL
Ken: 4/5
So in my opinion, I think that of their act in this book. So read this book. If you want to.
Conner's off living with his dad and enjoying his total freedom until he goes overboard with the alcohol and ends up in hospital.Will he admit he has a problem?This question is answered in the book.Also Andy has to start getting serious about his future.It's college application time and Andy's grades are not that good.Will he be able to get into college?This might seem a bit vague but I don't want to spoil anything major.You don't actually find out if he gets accepted or anything but you do find out how he tries to get into a good college.
The other storyline which the book is supposed to be centered around is that since Conner took off Elizabeth has been taking comfort in the friendship of Evan Plummer.But does she want it to become something more?Also Jessica wanted Evan to take her to the homecoming dance but since he's going with Liz that's not possible.So Jessica is ignoring Elizabeth and trying to make her feel guilty.
I like this book because it is a fairly easy read and the diary bits between chapters are interesting to haer the characters point of view.This book may not be the best but it's important because many plot lines get started i.e.Jessica or Jade?Elizabeth with Evan?Ken and Melissa?Will Andy get into college?
If these sound interesting go out and find a copy of this book.
Happy reading!!

Whether or not Jessica learns her lesson by the end of the story is never really crucial to any Sweet Valley book--including this one--since Jessica always acts the same--selfish and underhanded--by the next book. Still, for those of you who are Jessica fans, you might like this 16th addition to the Sweet Valley Kids series. Recommended for readers age 5 - 8.
