This is a fun book that I read years ago. The character travels back in time, and learns about some of the adults in her life as a result. I can't really say much more without giving the thing away, nor can I add to the excellent reviews already given, but thought Cici enthusiasts should be aware of the re-release of the books and may enjoy reading them.

Maybe I'm just a traditionalist. : ) It's nice to get back to the series that got it all started instead of trying to slog through the stuff that seems to be published for the sheer reason of continuing to milk the Sweet Valley cash cow.
Now that I've vented, *smile*, on to the review. Poor Elizabeth is stuck watching Jessica pack for her trip to Club Paradise. She's only mentioned it about a thousand times, and it seems like it's too good to be true...which it is. Lila Fowler was drafted into working as a counsoler (or as they spell it, Kounsoler,) at Kiddle Club Paradise, and she has to find another person to work with her. She tells Jess that's it's an all expense paid vacation on her, but "forgets" to tell her that she's going to be in charge of toddlers. Nothing goes right for Jess from the beginning. Her luggage is lost, Lila's kids are perfect angels while hers are devils, but there's one consolation...Mick Myers, your local hot man on the beach. However, Mick is dating all of the young women counsolers at Kiddie Club Paradise, and Jessica and Lila bury the hatchet and join forces with their contemporaries to get back at Mick. I loved the talent show scene where Mick gets his just desserts.
Meanwhile, back in Sweet Valley, Elizabeth has to write an English paper on her ancestors. While searching for information on her mother, Elizabeth finds a trunk up in the attic with a lovely wedding gown and ornate veil. She also finds a picture-- Alice and Hank Patman, Bruce's father, as bride and groom! Hank and Marie Patman are now going through with a possible divorce, and Bruce overhears Maria tell Hank that it's because he's in love with another woman. Bruce also overhears his father on the phone and, from the conversation, thinks that his father is having an affair with Alice. When Elizabeth confronts him with the wedding picture, the book ends with their shock at the possiblity of Alice and Hank getting back together--or being together to begin with.
I'll be honest-- If you've read Sweet Valley Saga The Wakefields of Sweet Valley, or Wakefield Legacy, or The Patmans of Sweet Valley, you'll know the whole Alice vs. Hank story. But I have to say that this kicks off one of the best SV storylines!

1) The story is simple. It is easy to comprehend
2) The size of the letters is pretty big. Bigger letters help make it easier to learn speed reading. Most children's books don't have lettering this large.
3) People must start learning to speed read in material that is AT or BELOW thier reading level. This book qualifies for most children.
Oh yeah, the story line is interesting and it teaches a lesson of forgiving others when we get disappointed.
