Sweet Valley Kids #8: Jessica's Zoo Adventure

So, this book isn't quite as funny as Jessica's Animal Instincts, by which I mean this one is woefully lacking in bird-fearing Bruce action. It does include an escaped monkey, though. So it's got that going on.

The girls are worried Mrs. Becker might not be their teacher after she gets married, because she might "go on her honeymoon and never come back." Either Mrs. Becker is planning one kick-ass honeymoon or the twins expect her fiancé to bump her off for the insurance money.

Or, since this is Sweet Valley, maybe Mrs. Becker will go on her honeymoon and be killed by a doppleganger who then takes her place and quits her job as a teacher and is suddenly epically more awesome, and yet nobody thinks it's odd.

... wait, she's not a Wakefield. Nevermind.

So......did she pick the hat or sticker?????? Your killing me LOL.

Well, she does "Eeny meeny miney mo" and lands on the sticker, but then she says she wants the hat, and finally the scene skips forward. It just says "When everyone had bought what they wanted..." so after all that waffling the author never really settled on one or the other! By then, I was just glad to be done with it, although it still kinda made me want to bang my head against something.

Sometimes I wonder if the ghostwriters were required to reach a minimum number of words. It would explain some of the random pointless tangents, at least.

They don't tell us????? How cruel!!!! I totes agree with the min words thing, it would explain all the scenes where nothing happens!

Ahaha. The chimp from Outbreak.

Sitting behind them, Todd leans over the seat and asks Elizabeth if she wants to see snakes and he slithers his arm around her head. I soooo wish this was a Sweet Valley High book instead of Sweet Valley Kids, because the joke I just thought of is way too creepy when they're only seven. Dammit.
This is how porns start. Wanna see a snake? Wow I never knew SVK was so dirty.

Page 52! I pick page 52! anonymous August 25 2009, 01:09:07 UTC

That was so funny. The Choose Your Own Adventures were awsome.
If Todd was this dumb in SVK no wonder Liz is bossing him around in SVH I kept

seven-year-old Margo in there

I had so hoped she was in the No Entry but she'd probably be hanging out with the repilites or off pretending to be Liz and/ Jess with Nora therefore no one even knows the twins are missing.

Or maybe a "Choose Your Own" with Margo.

I had hoped you would have done a "Choose Your Own" with her.

If Margo drowns Jessica in the pool and returns to take her place no one suspecting anything go to page 55. If Margo and Nora drown both twins and take their place and more bodies turn up suddenly all over Sweet Valley page 66
