All About Paula.......

Jessica Wakefield manages to snag a leading role as Lady M in the school's production of Macbeth.At the same time, a new girl Paula, begins at SVH and quickly becomes Jessica's number 1 fan. Paula manages to infiltrate Jess's snobby clique and also become her understudy.Jessica is more than happy to have someone at her beck and call and Paula seems more than happy to be this.However, underneath Paula's meek and mild mask is a character who is just as devious as Jessica, in fact even more so, as she is planning on sabotaging Jessica's role and grabbing the lead for herself. This book is strongly influenced by "All About Eve" but, is well worth a read and contains all the typical SV elements that makes the series so well worth reading, even if the books are pretty hard to get ahold of now.

encore!

This is a better Sweet Valley High book,in which a wicked girl is jealous of the amazing Jessica,and pretends to be shy and to be Jess's friends.Behind Jess's back,she is an extrovert who is planning to take Jessicas place in a shakespearan play.Jessica deals with this schemer in a noble fashion,and shines with class and dignity.

Jessica at her Dramatic Best

I first picked this book up in the sixth grade, when I'd first discovered the series. My passion for the theatre also began around that time, a combination which made this book the perfect match for me. I can heavily relate to Jessica in this book too, seeing as I've had other actresses attemp to steal my leading role before. Its a great read for rainy days, or just when you feel that urge to pick up a great SVH classic.
