Okay, I'm going back to 9th grade English and working on conciseness.  Let's see how it pans out, shall we?

That rap is awesome. It's made of win. I have to go buy this book just for that now.

[amandahug_nkiss]

Yeah, I don't even know what else to say about the rap. The visual of Lila in a sideways baseball cap is just too much. I wonder if it was at least Chanel?

ah ah! they feature prominently in one of the Kimberly books, I think #14? f15? because one of them moves away and they try to suck Kimberly in as a replacement, and she almost succumbs because they're so much more mature and always on a diet or something, but then her dad has a heart attack and the unicorns miss a johnny buck concert for her so she realizes her loyalty lies with them, and then johnny buck dedicates a song to them in the make-up concert he has because he got a sore throat.

...uh. not that i read these way too many times as a kid or anything.

Damn!!! I only read up to number 10 or 11...I just assumed they were a throw-away plotline. (Hangs head in shame)

But we all know he canceled the first concert because the Unicorns weren't there. Because they're the precious golden children of Sweet Valley, and all must bow before them! ;)

Great recap. The rap is...something else.

I remember that =D I thought it was such a great book at the time. May have to recap it.

BTW, I think this whole plot is a rip-off of the Fab Five vs. the Fantastic Four, minus the awesomeness of Taffy Sinclair.

Well, teen books probably had the same ghosts, so.

They realize that they couldn't have won, because they're all so different. The Eights dress alike, act mean alike (lolz), and all want to date basketball players and go to the Mall of America.

And how is that different from the Unicorns? Even with Elizabeth and Maria LOLREFORMING them...

"He's hoping there will be bikinis. Also...wtf, they live by the beach..do you they REALLY need to build a beach volleyball court at the school?"

LOL!!! And ewww. Mr. Clark is totally perving on the Unicorns. And I really feel like there would be a better use for that money, but we've all seen Sweet Valley's educational standards....

I thought I was the only one that remembered Showbiz pizza. I only went there once, but I loved it. I think I was about 11 or 12.

Hilarious! Interesting point about Mr Clark - if everyone had already seen his shamefulshamefulbaldness why would he want a damn toupee?

I don't know if my school was particularly rough, but if any thirteen year olds had started a club with a name like that, they probably would have got beaten up or something. Pushed into a pool, at the very least.

That rap is just staggering.

[amandahug_nkiss]

Yeah, my school would not have been impressed by a club of any form. We were all about nameless cliques instead. :)
