At the trial a man comes foreward and says he's at fault,but Jessica never does say that She's the one who put the rum in the punch that killed Sam.

Elizabeth's on trial....

It's nice to see a conflict rise up between the twins. It's a little more true to life that way.I was left hanging at the end of the previous book where Elizabeth is led away in handcuffs. Although I knew already that nothing serious was going to happen to Elizabeth-- of course Pascal is going to find a way out of it for her somehow. I really was disappointed at the fact that she only had her licence revoked for a couple of months. While I know that the Sweet Valley books sometimes stray from the path of reality, I think that Pascal should have come down harder on Elizabeth. Whither or not she caused the accident, she was over the legal limit AS A MINOR. In this state (oklahoma) that would be grounds for arrest and licence revoked for a whole lot longer than a couple of months! I really felt for Jessica in this book. Her beloved Sam has died, and she's still struggling to come to terms with his death. I really, really, felt sorry for Jessica after the verdict was read and the Wakefields were all celebrating, and Ned and Alice doing their usual Elizabeth-worshipping routine. Sometimes I wish that Liz could step out of the goody two shoes role for once and get a little dirt on her record. ; )

Very Good

Liz is on trial for killing Sam Jessica's boyfriend. Jessica and Todd won't have anything to do with her. It looks like the verdict is in. GUILTY. Then a surprise witness takes the stand......... I thought this was a good book. It was nice to see Liz in trouble. But I think Jess was wrong in stealing Todd.And Todd should have been a more caring boyfriend. And this Margo mystery is killing me. I mean who is she????? I love this book and you should read it too. It's really great!!!!
