Starring Winston Egbert!

This is my first recap, so bear with me.  It was also hard to snark because there were no British werewolf boyfriends, dead boyfriends, or cyber-stalking. A British werewolf boyfriend would have made this book a lot cooler.

Onwards! )

I loved this recap! ha ha my husband was a flying monkey in the Wizard of Oz in 2nd grade. He and your husband should get together and reminisce about their old show biz careers.

Okay but seriously everything else about this book is a huge racist fail, though. O.o;; wtf, Sweet Valley?

Thanks. lol...our husbands should be friends. My mother in law recently gave me the videotape of his second grade play. It was the highlight of my summer.

Sweet Valley being racist? Never! I was in 2nd grade in the early 90s and I don't recall calling Native Americans "Indians". But then again, my class did not consist of the Aryan race like much of Sweet Valley.

My school we had to try out for the 3rd and 4th grade plays. Most people didn't get parts and were in the chorus. We had to memorize the entire show that was probably 30-60 minutes long.
In the mid-80s, we called them Indians. I think in jr. high teachers started calling them Native Americans, but not many people were willing to start using 6 instead of 3 sylables.

Aw, nice recap - a lot of fun :D I kind of like Winston's one brush with megalomania here!

When I was seven myself and another girl both got nominated to be Mary in our school's nativity play. We were sent out of the room and the rest of the class voted. I won ^___^
