I think this book was pretty good. It wasn't the best SVJH book I have read but it is still good. Brian and Kristen are always the nicest ones in the books so i'm like "gosh how can they be so nice all the time!" And finally you see a book where they are not so nice. Its kinda like a mid-teen crisis for Brian. Find out what happens when ya read it! Also you never really hear from brian so it is cool hearing from his perspective. I'm goin into 7th grade so i luv readin the SVJH books

In "No More Mr. Nice Guy" Brian gets tired of being stepped on all the time by his friends and family. They always expect him to give in and take it because he's always so nice. He decides it's time for a change, especially after his girlfriend Kristin puts her best friend Lacey over him. So he and his band write a song called "Too Nice", about a guy getting really sick of being a human doormat and how it's time for change. Kristin hears it without Brian knowing, and she's furious because she thinks it's their break-up song, but things get much better in the end. While all this is going on Salvador is acting really strange around Elizabeth, always grilling her about hanging out with Blue, and Sal is wondering if maybe he doesn't like her all over again. The author (Jamie Suzanne, NOT Francine Pascal) did a great job of writing about very real situations, and with very believable characters.

i rate this book 5 stars because it sooo good about how brian gets sick of being nice and thinks that his friends, parents depends on him so much because they know brian would not get mad.so he writes a song called"too nice" because kristin blows him of because off for lacey and his cousin trent. there are also some parts i dont really like for example, what's kristin problem anyway? just because brians not talking to him it does not mean he would break up w/ her besides she's the one blowing brian off.and about sal and liz? sal is kind of stupid why can't he admit he still likes liz.

The Wakefield twins, Elizabeth and Jessica, will be turning seven-years-old in six days. During that time, they have to plan the activities and food for their birthday party, shop for their party dresses, and find the perfect present for each other. That last task proves to be the hardest of all because, although they're twins, neither Elizabeth or Jessica have a clue what the other wants. Jessica buys her sister a blue velvet bow because it looks great on herself, and Elizabeth gets Jess a toy car because it's what she would like to receive herself. But will either girl be happy with their presents?

Ironically, I had given this book to my younger sister on her birthday years ago, but it was actually what I wanted for myself. Not being a Sweet Valley fan, she gave it back to me a few years later. :)

"Surprise! Surprise!" is the first book in the Sweet Valley Kids series. It's ideal for 5 to 8-year-old girls and/or fans of the previous Sweet Valley books, such as Sweet Valley Twins.

This book is really great I love this book I think that this book is clever and fun i read it like two or three times!

I read Sweet Valley University books now, since I'm older, but I still always remember Sweet Valley Kids. It's cute to see them when there little, it brings back memories. Anyway, the twins birthdays are here! It's so cute!

I am a die-hard Trixie fan who has read almost every book. I can honestly say that this is one of the best, most well-written and plot-developed books. The ghost writer at the time wrote some really good books! It has mystery, romance, and obviously, adventure. It would be a mistake to miss out on this one!!

I really like this book. For one thing, I was glad to see Jim paying attention to Trixie. Also, This book introduced me to 4-H. After reading it, I got involved in a club near me and am enjoying a 4-H career that has been very successful thus far. The book was well written and is classic Trixie.

This is one of my very favourite Trixie books. i agree with the other people I didn't really like dot. I really wish that they would print these books again. REALLY REALLY.

This book is set in the wine country north of San Francisco, and you will learn a fair amount of presumably accurate stuff about wine, history, and geography, enough to make you want to visit the area yourself.

The cast of characters is large but well depicted. On the whole neither the police nor the amateur sleuth/tour-guide achieve much with their detection until the sudden denouement explains all. Still, a pretty enjoyable read throughout, and there are enough clues that you might solve the case ahead of them.

Lynne Montgomery is leading one of her favorite tours, the Sonoma Sojourn. This year, she has 15 guests who will be enjoying the best Sonoma County has to offer, from wine to history and scenery. But when the former owner of the winery they're using as home base is found dead, Lynne suddenly has her hands full. The police find links from the dead man to her guests. Meanwhile, Lynne is trying to keep the tour going and make sure everyone is having a good time. Unless this murder gets solved quickly and quietly, it'll be very bad for business.

I enjoyed this debut novel in a new series. Having grown up in Sonoma County, I had a very fun time watching the characters go from one landmark I've visited to another. The characters were interesting and pulled me in. There's a cheat sheet before the book starts that lists all the travelers in the story, and I used it frequently for the first few chapters to keep everyone straight. But once I got into the story, I found the characters had come alive enough that I didn't need to refer to that page any more. The only down side was the plot. The murder often seemed to take a back seat to the sub-plots involving the characters on the tour. Still, the story does advance consistently, and the author's choice to tell the story from multiple characters' viewpoints adds much to the overall effect.

Lynne Montgomery is a great new character in a potentially great series. A little tightening of the plot will make this series rise above other cozies. Either way, I'm already planning to book passage on the next trip in this series.

This book kept you reading. The ending wasn't expected. I would recommend this book.

Steven usually make fun of his twin sisters. After that, however, he's ususally give tit for tat. But he never thinks him over. I think he is foolish boy. But I like him. I also think no to chenge his mind forever.

I thought Halloween will fun. Because everybody put on many kind of clothes. I felt this event can enjoy from children to adult. I thought this event is nice. I read this book happily.

It's almost Halloween and everyone in Mrs. Otis's second-grade class is excited. In preparation for the upcoming school parade, each student draws a pumpkin and then votes on the best one. That picture is then added to the school-wide contest, where the final winning drawing determines which class is chosen to lead the Halloween school parade. The picture Mrs. Otis's students choose to represent their class is drawn by Todd Wilkins, and it looks exactly like Elizabeth, gap-toothed grin and all. (Elizabeth just lost her front baby tooth.)

Meanwhile, the twins (Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield) are arguing over who will get to wear the princess costume on Halloween, while the other twin is left with the witch costume, which neither twin really wants to wear. Jessica insists she should be the princess this year since she has all her teeth and "princesses should have perfect smiles". However, Jessica's logic fails her when she also loses her front tooth before Halloween. Now who will get to wear the princess costume? And which grade will get to lead the Sweet Valley Elementary School parade? Find out in "Sweet Valley Trick or Treat". Recommended for 5 to 8-year-old girls.

This book about Jessica and Elizabeth hiding Grace in a secret place at camp(because Grace snuck away from home)is something I read once in a blue moon.It is good but not overly rereadable

Jessica and Elizabeth go to a great camp. They find Grace hiding in an old house. She snuck away from home. Elizabethand Jessica think of a plan.
Ellen doesn't mind letting Grace go swimming. All she had to do was let Grace wear her bathing suit and swimming cap, but it got harder later. Someone was counting people as they walked into a big room. She said, "I counted one extra person. I cound have made a mistake..." Then Barbara, the rude girl said, "You must have counted me twice. I was in line, but I went out to get my sweater. "Oh," the person who was counting said.

Barbara doesn't do things to be nice, she does them to get something, and Barbara did wanted something.

One day Barbara came into Bunk 7 and said to Jamie, the consuler, "My consuler wants to see you." Jamie left.
"Why does she want to she her?" Jessica asked. "I'm joining your bunk," rude Barbara said, "I told my consuler you asked me to." "We didn't!" Jessica said. Barbara went on, "Everyone thinks bunk 7 is great for hiding Grace, so I want to join. I helped you with Grace. I did you a favor. Now do me one! If you don't, I can tell all about Grace!" So they let her join.
Barbara made them do things for her. Will the secret about Grace be found out? Find out by reading The Big Camp Secret!

"The Big Camp Secret" is a very interesting book! I like the part about the problems about Barbara and the other campers in Bunk Seven (It sound a little like Aesop.) I actually have a similar problem like that, and it let me feels very bad too. Reading the problems between Barbara sound like reading my story. (I'm Ellen too.) At first, I'm going to gave 4 stars. But really, the story deserve 5 stars. The only thing that let me feels a little disappointed is that Ellen Riteman wasn't a important character in the story.

The tone of this story is very melancholy but poetically so. I certainly wouldn't call it a romance, but it is a love story, and I applaud the craftsmanship required to pull off something this unique. I also admire the beautiful prose, the incredible historical detail, the way the author breathed life into her characters and wove her setting so tightly into the story. The book made me grateful for my own life and made me want to be happy for the sake of others, if not myself. That says something--when you apply what you've learned from a work of fiction to your own life. It means what you read was powerful. The closest thing to it that I recall is Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath."

A Season in Eden is a painful read filled with heartache andgrief. It is not the type of book I, the love and laughter type,normally choose to read. Written in first person it is the story of Lora, a young woman whose dreams have been shattered by tragedy. It is the story of her coming to terms with her grief, facing it, and reestablishing a relationship with her husband Eli who loves her more than his own life. Although not a typical love story, this book left an emotional impact on me like very few do and I ended up finishing it in one tear blurred sitting. I was wholly satisfied and give it my highest recommendation.

but nothing Megan Chance writes could be called "typical" she continually pushes the envelope of the romance genre and gifts readers with something special and original every time. With A SEASON IN EDEN she gives us a book written in first person. To see how Lora grows as a person and somehow overcomes her grief with the aid of a most unlikely friend, results in one of the best historical fiction books of the year. This book deserve a much bigger audience than it will get marketed only as a "historical romance." Megan Chance's books more often than not transcend the genre. Her publisher should realize what a gem of a writer they have and give her the boost she deserves. I agree with the quote from Kristin Hannah, if you read one historical romance this year, make it A SEASON IN EDEN. If you are a member of a reading group - this book is one that cries out to be discussed. I loved everything about this book -- from the first person POV, the subject matter, and the setting (my husband's grandparents homesteaded in the very area this book is set). I look forward to the next innovative novel from Ms. Chance.

This book was defenetly the best in the 3 part series!

Question: AM i the only sweet valley fan who misses Nick Fox? I mean did Francine have to write him right out of the Sweet Valley Series? Nick really made the Sweet valley University series exciting he was full of excitement unlike all the other Sweet Valley university frat guys. Those guys are really did put the BORE in BOREDOM! I hope Nick comes back to Sweet Valley and catches Clays counterparts so he and Jessica can start dating again!!!!!!

Back to the book. Sam is being a total jerk one minute his and ogre and the Next he is a perfect gentelman. His playing around with Elizabeth, which is totally disgusting! ugh!

Tom and Todd are doing everthing they can to keep Elizabeth frrom Sam But wait till she finds out they are going to be sorry!!!
anyway to find out more read the book

I thought this was the best in its miniseries. I especially liked it when they were on the plane and what happened when they were in Key West, Florida. This is one of the best parts of the book. Of course it is at the end.

Jessica's team is in last place. They have a chance of winning if they could put aside their differences and work together. But how will they work as a team if none of them is willing to make the first move? Elisabeth is falling hard for Sam, but she just dosn't get him. One minute he's kissing her, the next he is acting like a jerk and bragging about the girl he has waiting for him in Florida. Will Elisabeth forget over Sam for good? Todd and Tom know Sam is no good. But every time they do something to keep him away from Elisabeth, she gets angry. Will they back off and watch Elisabeth get hurt?

I enjoyed the author's sense of humor, but found it grating after a while. The characters did not seem real to me. Instead, they were overdone and somewhat stereotypical. It felt like the main character was trying too hard to amuse us with her witty take on everything. I hate not to finish a book that I have purchased, but I gave up on it. The storyline definitely had potential, but I wouldn't recommend this for people who prefer more serious suspense novels.

I loved this! This has my vote for one of the best books of the year

I loved it! After reading two other books by Charlotte Hughes, I picked this one up and didn't want to put it down until the story ended!

I read this book and it is soooooo goood. Larissa thinks everything is perfect untill the tryouts!!! Read it and find out what happenes!!

This wasn't the best SVJH book I've read, but it was a fun read. "Wild Child" is about how blossoming actress Larissa Harris auditions for the school musical, "West Side Story", but is not accepted because she doesn't have a C average or higher, which is required to be eligible to be part of the play. She is crushed for a few days and pretty much ignores her drama club friends, Toby and Anna---and when she does talk to them, is not as open and friendly as she had been before. Larissa finally agrees to let Anna tutor her when she finds out that the girl who won the lead role Larissa wanted so badly, Bianca, also had slipping grades and was being tutored. I thought Larissa was being a stuck-up brat because she was so stubborn to accept that she needed help in her schoolwork. Read this if you like, but it isn't on my highly-recommended list.

I wasn't that interested in Larissa until this book. I've never really liked school much, either. So I can relate. I usually don't like it when a new character is introduced, but the way Larissa and Toby were introduced I totally wanted to know all about them and their thoughts. Larissa's trying out for West Side Story with Anna and Toby. Then her grades drop and she's not allowed to be in the play! The little side story is about Salvador and how he wants to hang out with more guys, since most of his friends are girls. I hope I've encouraged you to read this book, it's one of the best!
