Sweet Valley High #51: Against the Odds

So, here’s the thing. My husband (HEE! We’ve been married seven months but I still can’t hear that without cracking up) is at poker for the next four hours or so. What’s a girl supposed to do?

Well, I guess she’s supposed to either go out clubbing or recap an SVH book. So there.

Oh, Crazy Margo. I just can’t quit you.

If you’re fuzzy on Margo’s backstory, check out the recaps of A Night to Remember and books 95-100. It’s really too much to summarize here.

SweetValley High #35: Out of Control

That’s Aaron Dallas, soccer player. The cover is interesting, and not just because Liz is wearing clown pants with a million pleats in them. Jeffrey’s floppy hair looks like Hermie the elf, and Aaron…well…to put it kindly, he doesn’t look like he could beat up a ten year old girl.
