The other Contests they do are paintball Civil War Reenactment Teams 1 and 2 vs Teams 3and 4. Jessica meet Elvis Aaron Presley. Or somene who looks like Elvis. Elvis has been dead since August 17? 1977. I'm an Elvis fan. I was 2 and a half years old when Elvis died.There is also Pony express reenactment. selling hotdogs at Wrigley Field. Singing Country Songs at The Grand Ole Opry[Team Two gets Disqualified because Jessica sings with Elvis]

Not Surprised

I don't know what to think about this book. Sure, Elizabeth is a little different than usual, but they've done that how many times??? I'm not surprised by Jessica either. But I wish that Sam and Elizabeth would NOT get together! Personally, I think that she and Todd were the cutest couple ever, and even though Todd's dating Dana, he still obviously likes Elizabeth at least a little. And if you read other books in the the series and High series, you'd see what I mean. Sam and Liz were SO not meant to be, and Todd and Liz had something once. But this is a book review, not my opinion on the happenings! So I liked the book, but I might have changed just a few things.

F U N

This is a fun book.Sure it seems a bit crazy especially when Jess meets some nut who thinks he is Elvis but thats Jessica isnt it?Shes crazy,she gravitates toward crazy,and causes crazy and is just plain loopy.We always knew she ws slightly Marilyn-ish so it was fun when she acted like MArilyn and she sung with "Elvis".Besides,Marilyn and Elvis were both crazy I think,so they probly should have got together.PS..Jessica is really being a brat in this,but its funny.

EXCELLENT three-volume book you must read!!!

This story is about college students chosen to participate in a coast-to-coast competition that makes them face their fears and come across problems that they may not have faced in everyday life. I would recommend this book to any teenager, preferably a girl, in grades 8-11 because it is at these ages when you can start relating to the book the most. The two main characters, Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield (identical twins), get wrapped in guy troubles, style concerns, and stupid mistakes that everyone has encountered sometime during their lifetime. This book provides a look at a wide variety of landmarks across the country, such as Las Vegas, Atlanta, Miami, and Nashville,when the contestants travel in Winnebagos to the next event. Each city holds an event that relates either to its history or why it is famous. I enjoyed this book because it was a three-book story. I have never been so hooked on a book that I couldn't stop reading it and finished each of the three books in three days!! I also enjoyed that I could relate things to my own life, such as events held in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace, where I had been. I enjoyed the events chosen for the contestants to do at each city because some seemed easy while others were hard. Every event required team cooperation and quite a few events were based on people's everyday fears. The last thing I enjoyed about the book was that it touched all aspects of life, by having different races included, different kinds of personalities mixed together, pregnant girls, gay members, participants from different countries, and students from rivalry colleges all put together forced to work together as a team. A strong point about reading these books is that if you really enjoy this story, it is part of a series dealing with other problems the twins face at Sweet Valley University. Also, if you are a younger reader and not quite ready to read college-based books, check out the series Sweet Valley High School Series. I would recommend reading Francine Pascals work because she is an excellent writer for all ages. Thank you for your time and I hope you will consider reading the story called "Road Trip". (This includes books #48,49,and 50 of the Sweet Valley University Series)
