Liz made her decision
I thought that it was really sad that Liz didn't take Todd back and I'm glad that Devon,finally, saw how much Liz loves Todd but why did Liz choose to be alone than to keep Todd I mean Todd is so sweet ok so I admit it that sending flowers,candy and cards is like buying back the relationship but it is also thoughtful and nice so why did Liz choose what she did I mean everyone knows that Liz can't live without Todd and be alone so in SVU she is but they are still friends in it and it was Todd who said that he didn't think that he could be anyone's boyfriend in SVU but this is different Todd can't do what he wants right like play basketball but hey no one said love and relationship is easy.not to mention life it self.

An enjoyable book to read.
I enjoed reading this book because it shows how a girl caught between two guys she cares about feels. It also makes you realize how the guys feel in this situation. although some of the things that happen to the characters is pretty incredible, it just adds to the excitement.

Almost excellent
This book was great, but I was kind of disapointed with Liz's decision about Todd and Devon. Jessica ruined her relationship with Devon, and I don't think Elizabeth should end everything because of her cheating twin.


Robbery at the Mall

very readable
can I just say that i agree with the other readers..I laughed silly when Jessica in her hotdog costume returned to consciousness and said,"No Lizzie Im not a hero.Im a hotdog." She is such a nut.

In this one Elizabeth is trying to solve the mystery of the sweetvalley robber.

ps--I think i described this plot when i wrote about Elizabeth the spy,i read so much sweet valley that i get confused

A Great Book!
"Robbery at the Mall" was a great book, surprising and not at all predictable. It is focused mainly on Elizabeth and her "detictive" work, but also includes Jessica's humourous compitition with her best friend, and never once does it become dull or slow. ~~~~This book gets the full 5 stars from a very satisfied reader!

It's wonderful! "I'm hotdog~" It's so funny.
I like `Elizabeth'. But after read this book,I like Jessica more. She is cool! I like that "I'm hotdog" It's so fun! Then I like more `sweet valley twins' than ever. Anyways I'm so sorry that I can't speak English well

Great book!!!!
This book was great! This is one of my favorite Sweet Valley University books. Jessica Wakefield and Michael McAllery get married, but Jessica's too scared to tell anyone. Elizabeth Wakefield loves Tom Watts, but WIlliam White loves her. Nina Harper suffered an attack along with Bryan Nelson. But will she ever get close to him? Isabella Ricci wants Danny Wyatt to help her get closer to Tom Watts, but they end up getting closerto eachother. Todd Wilkins is starting to realize that Lauren Hill isn't as wonderful as he thought she was, plus he's going through some hard times due to the scandal. This book is great!

This was a great book
I liked this book, it wasn't boring and it continues what was left off in "What Your Parents Don't Know" I just wish that ELizabeth and Tom could at least find out that one of them have feelings for the other because it's beginning to get irratating that they always get jealous of one another when they are with another person or when they get interuppted by someone when one of them are finally going to confess that he likes her and vice versa.

This book has a lot of suspense. It's a great book.
I liked this book because it has romance, suspense, plenty of suspicion and of course, a very unexpected ending. This is one of the best Nancy Drew books I have read since I started reading them last year. I couldn't put it down

A fast-moving, fun read
Those who enjoyed this book ought to know that the two subsequent books featuring Vicky, "My First Love and Other Disasters" and "Love and Betrayal and Hold the Mayo" will be coming out in May, 2003. They had been out of print for a while. Why this first book isn't being republished is beyond me.

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.

1 part realism + 1 part fantasy = ONE GREAT READ FOR ANYONE
This book is aimed at teens, but I say it's for everyone. (I still have my copy, tucked amid the more "grown-up" fare) Vicky's mom is giving her grief -- and then she gets blamed for something she didn't do! Bummer! Then, she enters this time warp, goes back to the 40s, and makes a friend who turns out to be her mom as a teen!!! EXCELLENT!! By thetime she gets back to her own time, she learns about her mom and about herself! This book is recomened to all mom's with daughters -- and everyone who is or has ever been a daughter. Imaginative, humorous, and moving, this book deserves 6 stars and it's a shame that it's out of print!!

I thought it was one of the best books I have ever read!
I thought it was great how Fancine described the relationship between daughter and mother, and also the sisters relationship. I thought that it was very real life. It has the everyday troubles of a teenager, and always getting in trouble at school.

excellent!
This is a fun and VERY funny book,one of the best SVTs.After a spat with their mum,Jess and Liz insist that it is easier to be a mum,while their mum says it is easier to be a kid.So Jessica suggests that she and Liz swap places with their mum and vice versa;surprisingly,MrsWakefield agrees!

It is a very good story idea isnt it??And it is very good fun to read.

U Gotta Read It!
This is one of the best books of the SVT series! I've read almost all of the books in this series and " THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER SWITCH" is one of the best books! It is so hilarious when Mrs. Wakefield tries to rollerblade and when Jess and Liz act like robbers and take their sun-porch furniture for Mrs. Wolsky's sun-porch. All in all, every SV fan has gotta read it. It's a must! I recomend it to EVERYONE!:)

Really good and funny............
This book was really good. Jess and Liz decide to trade places with their mother! Who would of thought Mrs.Wakefield would be such a troubulsome kid? You gotta read this and find out!

This book got me hooked on Sweet Valley all over again
Instead of SVU, (which had me laughing in disbelief-- if only I could party 24/7 and never go to or worry about classes) SVH is mental cotton candy. Some of the books, and now book series (namely SVU and Sweet Valley Junior High)-- Jr. High is all full of fluff, and SVU takes more plot twists and tries to shock its audience more than a soap opera.

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!

Really Good
Jessica and Lila are taking a vaction in Paradise! Sort of. Lila and Jess are in Paradise as camp counslers for a group of kids. Lila tricked Jessica into coming and she's not happy. Both are dating the handsome windsurfer. Then back in Sweet Valley Elizabeth discovers a horrible thing about her mother and Mr. Patman!

Jessica contemplates marriage.......
Jessica and Jeremy are serious. He wants everything from her, and she nearly gives it to him. It all however, becomes clear that Jeremy isn't interested in Sue of Jessica, and Jessica nearly dies in a blazing cabin...

Great! A bit anticipated, but never mind.
I really enjoyed the book. I like reading "Sweet Valley High" but I live in Israel so it's hard to find.

This book is great for young children to practice speed read
I teach speed reading to kids and this book is just right for teaching speed reading to children. I have it in my box of books that I take to all my speed reading classes for children. There are three reasons for this:

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.

--George Stancliffe

I loved it!
I liked this book because it had an animal TV show in it. Elizabeth and Jessica got to meet the ost and his dog! I like to see the TV show if it was a real show bescause I LOVE animals just like Elizabeth does.
