SVT #46 Mademoiselle Jessica

[roseability_]

This is one of my favourite SVT books, because it’s so damn ridiculous, and for once doesn’t involve anyone getting tormented. I forgot how little the essay competition features in the book - I suppose they had to allow time for judging and so forth.

The family admits that it was joke to teach her a lesson about exaggeration. The lesson was don’t do it.

Judging by the SVH books, apparently that lesson didn't last very long.

Brooke suggests that Lila tell the other Unicorns she’s allergic to purple, and that’s why she can’t join them.

LOL! I think I love Brooke.

Jessica squints to read the fine print in the competition - next edition she needs glasses.

She must switch to contacts in high school and university then, because there's no mention of her wearing glasses in any of the other books. Ah, Sweet Valley writers, let me introduce you to a thing called continuity...

Jessica only needs to wear glasses short term; the story is if she doesn't do it now then her eyes will be damaged forever.

Man, it'd be nice if it worked that way in real life...

[zippyladoodles]

Wouldn't it just!

Okay, maybe this is just my Jessica-bias showing here, but her parents do this to punish her for exaggerating? But...she was having fun filling in a form! She didn't mean for it to be poasted! Outrage! D:!

I will admit, though, that she shouldn't have decided to keep up the charade. That Jessica and her antics!

Also, why am I suddenly thinking that Liz/Todd is such a cute ship?

Also, I just reread this comment and I'm so embarrassed by my spelling of "posted". D:

[zippyladoodles]

Yeah, but how embarrassing would it be to admit the mistake? I would blame Liz!! Lol

Liz/Todd in SVT is totally cute. They don't really do a lot of relationship stuff - it's really more working together on projects and blushing when their hands touch and stuff.

At the time, it was all "I wish I had a boy like Todd, instead of all the losers in my class". Now it's more like watching a younger sister with her first boyfriend, and being oddly proud.

Also, I'm mildly amused that the last seven recaps for this blog have all been for SVT. Nobody break the chain!

1) i love your lj name. hahahaha

2) why on earth would a busy woman take her time to come teach a 12 year old liar a lesson? how is she going to feel when she reads the rest of the series and sees the lesson didn't stick?

[zippyladoodles]

I prefer SVT so fine by me :D1 Might do a Super Chiller next..wooo! (That was supposed to be a scary ghosty wail, for those who didn't know).

Once someone broke the chain, and the very next day they broke their leg.

This sort of plot only happens in Sweet Valley (a lame but true observation). And I agree with the above posters - poor Jessica!
