Once again, we're back at Sweet Valley Junior High, which is different from Sweet Valley Middle School in that...uh, there's Asians and Mexicans, I guess.

That's friendship for you in Sweet Valley! Meanwhile, Kristin's mom cuts down her kid's self-esteem, and Kristin gets revenge by getting a ( Read more... )
