WRONG KIND OF GIRL

Rating:
Summary: Average Sweet Valley book....
Review: Annie has a bunch of boyfriends and has a bad reputation. Jessica Wakefield has probably had twice as many boyfriends and is the most popular girl in school. While reading this book I could not understand the difference between those two characters and why Jessica would hate Annie so much when they are just alike. Jessica has a wake-up call at the end, thank God.

Summary: I Love! Love! Love! this book
Review: I absolutely loved this book. Its the best one in the series. I've read it at least 10 times. Annie Whitman wants to join the cheerleading squad but beautiful ruthless Jessica Wakefield is determined to stop her. Annie has a bad reputation and Jessica is afraid it will affect the whole squad. But only Jess's twin sister Elizabeth knows how special Annie really is. Does Jessica succeed in keeping off the squad or does her plan backfire? You'll just have to read the book to find out.

Summary: This is NOT a trashy book
Review: I strongly disagree with the reader who said this book was trashy. It really taught me something about how our actions have consequences. Jessica made a horrible mistake with her actions, and then had to suffer through her guilt of what happened next. The whole 'Easy Annie' thing was just another way to teach us that we can turn our lives around when they seem to be at their worst. And further more, Francine Pascal is my favorite author and nothing that she writes is trashy.

Summary: Entertaining and interesting...
Review: I think there's more to this book (and the rest of the SV books) than most people think. Yes, the twins are perfectly formed and have amazing lives, friends and so on but, this book seems to convey the double standards that some of the characters (mainly Jessica Wakefield) live by. It seems that Annie is labelled as 'Easy' because she tends to have a casual 'date' every night of the week, but Jessica herself claims (in almost every book) that she's bored with the 'guys' in Sweet Valley because she's dated most of them. Therefore, rather than being a 'perfect' creation of Francine Pascal's imagination, Jessica is anything but. She's hypocritical, superficial, nasty - yet, she's a cheerleader and one of the most popular girls in the school. It seems to suggest that maybe being 'perfect' isn't as great as it seems.

Summary: Jessica vrs. Annie
Review: Jessica has always had a very close circle of friends. Only the most popular and good looking people are allowed into her circle. But when Annie tries to get into the cheerleading circle Jessica will try and stop at nothing to keep her out of it. She doesn't want "easy Annie" to be associated with her in any way. Will Jessica let Annie into her circle or will she drive Annie over the edge

Summary: Jessica's at it again
Review: Jessica will stop at nothing to make sure 'easy annie' doesn't get on the cheerleading squad. If someone isn't in her close circle of friends, or else incredibly popular, she does not want them to have anything to do with her. Jessica has gone many lengths before at stopping people from getting what they want, and now she is determined not to let anyone, even her sister interfere. Elizabeth has other ideas, always the caring one she is determined not to let Jessica ruin Annie's dream, she knows Annie well. So who will win this battle between the twins, is Jessica really that determined to uphold the school's so called 'honor'? Is Elizabeth really that determined to battle her twin one more time for the sake of a freind?

Summary: yawn
Review: Many early Sweet Valley High books were mega-boring,some more than others.This is pretty blah too.Not to mention Jessica was so much snobbier back then.She and the other cheerleaders refuse to let Annie,who sleeps with all the boys at school,into their prestigious squad!!!Annie is so upset,she tries to hurt herself and the guilt of that is unbearable for Jessica.

Summary: She's doing it again!
Review: This book truly shows how girls of Jessica's age compete like that with no meaning at all which leads to greed and loss of friends so this book is very nice to read and does teach you something.

Summary: She's doing it again!
Review: This novel is a most insidious example of young adult "literature" at its worst. All a young woman can learn through this book is how to stereotype others (i.e., cheerleaders are cool; all others aren't, and girls who stay out with boys until midnight are nothing more than sluts at best). The book simply reeks with the stench of overexaggeration. As an English Teacher Preparation senior, I am horrified that my students will read this kind of trash. Another note: the writer of this story, obviously no student of the craft of creative writing, does not even know how to use the word "groveling" correctly. My teaching suggestion: use this thing as toilet paper!
