I remember when I was so hooked on the Sweet-Valley high world (and even the tv-series). It was fun and realistic with a touch of romance (typical in a school)

that changing school is not so bad it's somthing great to meet new people and maybe old friends.
good book and funny too
In this book I read things about two twin sisters,Elizabeth and Jessica. At Jr. High Elizabeth loved it, while Jessica hated it.Elizabeth loved the school because she made a new friend. Her lockermate,Brian.
Back to Jessica. She made a new friend her lockermate too but she hated her lockermate. She hated her lockermate because he was a dorky,skinny,tall boy who no one likes

In this book there were two twin sisters, Jessica and Elizabeth. When they started Jr. high they both had different opinions. Elizabeth thought she would not meet new friends, but she did. Therefore,Jessica thought she would be popular and have a bunch of friends,but she didn't. Elizabeth started to make a lot of friends, while Jessica only had one friend, her dorky lockermate.
I read this book ages ago in junior high, and still like it till now :) this book starts with Jessica getting no friends in her new school, but Liz seems to be having a good time.
I like how the story develops. This first one is definitely promising, but the later editions are much better.

Ye gods, a Sweet Valley AU! They sure milked this series for everything it was worth... An interesting idea, but the first book was the only really okay one. After that it just seems like they were trying too hard and it's better to stick with what's tried and true.
Ok. Originally I gave this 3 stars, but I came back and gave it 4. Great escapist reading. I still think that for 8th graders, the characters are all a little too adult...but maybe that is the appeal for that age group.
I read a whole bunch of these books when I was nine, before moving on to the SVH, Senior Year and SVU. These were definitely the cutest, and on par with Senior Year for realism.
It is good. i learned that when you are at a new school/place it is not impossible to meet some one that you really like and you want to be friends with.
