A movie star in Sweet Valley!

I always enjoyed the Sweet Valley Twins books and I used to read them all the time. The characters are all so interesting and the stories enjoyable. This book is a pretty good one. A new girl comes to Sweet Valley named Maria Slater. Jessica befriends Maria, and discovers that Maria was a former child star on some TV show and several cheap TV movies. The kids at school learn how to deal with Maria as if she's a normal person, and Maria learns to like Sweet Valley. This is a great book and I really enjoyed it. It reminds us that the people on TV aren't any different from us. It's a fun story and it has great characters! Check it out!
