Sweet Valley High #77: Cheating to Win

When I recapped the saga of Aaron Dallas’s rage, I was pretty disappointed that there were no steroids involved. Then I found this one! It says right on the back that some weight lifter gives track star Tony Esteban “magic vitamins” to help him run faster, and how could I pass that up?

Oh, WINSTON. I love you, but yes, I have to admit, that was really rather evil. (I still laughed at your retelling of it though.)

Awesome recap overall though. I love your Todd snark and... yeah, you're awesome :D

*points to icon* Liz and Winston. They should've hooked up. Imagine all the crazy hijinks...kidnapping, twin switches...everything.

And omg @ Annie. Giving her bf placebos! OMG that's just too delightful. And dude! Tony wasn't taking steroids long enough for them to have *any* effect at all.

I wish I lived in Sweet Valley.

Is that really how it works?
No. You have to compete in national events to win a spot in the Olympics. No research for the SV writers!

Liz practically wets herself over this suggestion: it’s the most brilliant, most genius plan she’s ever heard!
Really because that is the dumbest plan I have ever heard and I've read other Sweet Valley High books.

Winston pulls into a gas station because his car is almost empty, and when Liz gets out of his car he grabs her, blindfolds her, ties her up, and tosses her in the backseat of his car.
No, I lie. THIS was the dumbest plan ever. Way to top yourself, book.

This makes me think of that Hissy Fit site, the Bad Teen Novel, which seems to be down now. They had that VITAMINS image that was hilarious and you can get on a mug.

Hey, what's the address for that site?

esc_key January 15 2008, 14:34:06 UTC

It's gone. :(

Yeah, you have to order Bad Teen Novel on amazon now.

Backstory on Tony’s dad: he was a football player at UCSD who was going to go pro.

Hee! Does the book actually say UCSD? Because we definitely do not have a football team. In fact, I don't think the school had ever had a football team in its history.

irinaauthor January 15 2008, 02:05:34 UTC

It definitely says UCSD. Hee.

UCSD Footbal Team - Yeah Right! anonymous January 15 2008, 17:42:49 UTC

Good catch! I thought the same thing. UCSD does NOT have a football team. Nice try, ghostwriters.

Did you go to UCSD? I did - class of '92.

Hahaha. I initially read: She thinks about telling the track coach or Pa Esteban as She thinks about telling the track coach or Elizabeth and breathed a sigh of relief when I realised she wasn't really thinking of spilling her boyfriend's problems to a random teenage girl. Then, in the very next paragraph: The next day at school, Annie spills her guts to Saint Elizabeth and Roger. I love Sweet Valley so much.

Liz and Todd - what kind of couple needs to enlist the help of three different people to arrange a dinner date? I mean really!
