Customer Reviews

Creepy....

I definitely agree with the other readers, this book is great for those cold nights ;-) I thought the dreams that the twins and their cousin Robin had from wearing the necklace were pretty creepy. I also liked the blend of humour and horror from the writers. Like when Jess is trying to tell the Unicorns that she's gotten a part in a movie and Lila's too busy screeching about Jess and Ellen using her hairspray. Also, that annoying brat that was the 'star' of the film, she was so funny. Especially when Jess threw that cake at her, and everyone else joined in. I also thought it was quite sad too, especially when the ghost and her sister got together after all that time. A good read for any SV fan, you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful!

I read this book when I was in 6th grade and I kept reading and re-reading it. It has been one of my favorite books and now I'm CRAVING to read it again even though I'm in 10th grade. I really wish some of the libraries I go to hadn't gotten rid of all the old SV series:-( Those held my memories of when I was a kid practically since it was like growing up with the Wakefield twins.

Excellent Book!!!!!!

I loved this book! I always thought Harry was very creepy from the begining. I would never want to have the dreams that Elizabeth and Jessica had. I would have liked to be in a movie like they did. It was a very chilling book and I would reccomend it.

Jessica and Elizabeth have stumbled into an unsolved murder!

When Jessica and Elizabeth get jobs as extras in a film, Jessica's thrilled. Then she finds a beautiful necklace on the beach, near the house where the movie's being filmed. The movie's about the death of a young girl, the same age as the twins... Jessica's having nightmares about falling from a balcony unto rocks, which is exactly the way Lillian, the girl, died. Now Elizabeth, Jessica and their cousin Robin have to find the real murderer; to clear an old woman's name and to let Lillian's spirit rest in peace. This is my absolute favourite of all the Sweet Valley twins, I have read it countless times and I'm still not bored. A great book to curl up with on a stormy night!

Stellar! A great read!

This was a fantastic book, one of my fave Sweet Valley books. When I first read it, I coldn't put it down. It kept me in suspense the whole time. I loved the plot of the book and the mystery. Francine Pascal is very clever. Now, it's been a few years since I've read it and I still remember it vividly. This is a wonderful book for anyone who's interested. Francine, keep up the good work and I'll keep reading!
