SVT #116: Jessica Takes Charge

[_ocelott_]

I didn't want to evoke the curse by breaking the chain of SVT books, so here's my third offering from the series.

In southern California, Paul hadn't run across anything in Spanish to take to his grandfather?

'Kay.

I went off SVT after #100 or so, they just seemed to get increasingly far-fetched as time went on.

Yeah, I guess he didn't look too hard. He apparently couldn't be bothered to try translating anything, either.

Why did all this seem so plausible when I was eleven?

[_ocelott_]

Well, if it makes you feel better, the ghostwriter must have thought it was plausible, too...

Wait, if Liz didn't switch jobs with Lila, how did she get the $200?

[zippyladoodles]

She did switch jobs, Liz was originally in the Mayor's office!

I don't whether I just hate it when Elizabeth gets all soup-kitchen-yay, but... bleh. This one sounded pretty ludicrous to me!

[_ocelott_]

I kinda think Elizabeth going soup-kitchen-yay adds the the ludicrous factor. She's twelve years old, for crying out loud!

[versipellis]

This is a very good point, and I think Sweet Valley have clearly brainwashed me because it didn't occur to me earlier :/

Great recap, totally inplausible plot - as if there are poor people in SV! (apart from the homeless family in Christmas without Elizabeth) :-p
