It's a fun story!

I have enjoyed the Sweet Valley Twins books for quite a while. They're always fun and exciting. In this story, Jessica and her friend, Lila, get the bad idea to play hookey from school. They want to see their favorite TV star who's making an appearance a few blocks away. However, Jessica's twin, Elizabeth, covers for her, and even chases her to get her back to school. I couldn't believe how Elizabeth naively went to all that trouble to save her sister. She should have let her sister face her own consequences. I didn't find that very realistic that Elizabeth would try to protect her sister like that. However, it's a fun story and I highly recommend reading a book in this series.

Playing Hookey!!!

Kent Kellerman, a popular T.V star is in town. Jessica and Lila will do anything to see him. Being their usual sneaky selves they manage to get passes to the set. The problem is Kent will only be filming in the early afternoon. That means Jessica and Lila have to sneak out of school to see Kent. Naturally, they get caught, punished and Jessica can't play for the basketball team in a crucial game.... Unless Elizabeth (naturally) is willing to save Jessica's skin.
