Can the homecoming be saved?

This was one of my favorites in the series. Jessica gets put in charge of the homecoming committee and gets all her new friends to join. But instead of getting along, all her friends are constantly at each other's throats! Finally she's so fed up that Elizabeth, taking pity on the situation, agrees to switch with Jess and take over the committee. But the committee members know Jess too well and figure out that the girls switched. But they decide not to let on they know and do their best to make the dance terrific! Plus Damon wants to ask Jessica to the dance... if only he can get up the nerve, he'll make it the best night ever for her. ('if' being the operative word) My favorite scene was when Jessica ended up going to Liz's zone meeting. It was so funny! I can't believe that the Zone members didn't recognize Jessica! This was a great book- must read in the series.

Great book!

This is the best SVJH book that I have read.By far! It was quite surprising how Elizabeth agreed to switch places with Jessica.I think that Jessica should have remembered that her friends don't get along with each other before she chose her dance party commitee members. And Damon is the best!

Best Book!

This is a great book! Basically, Jess has to plan the Homecoming dance as a "punishment" and that's exactly what it ends up being! In despair she asks Elizabeth to change with her and she agrees. I don't want to ruin the rest, but I'll just say that Damon is a 1 in a million guy and I wish he went to MY school!

Pretty darn good

The premise is realistic and the added bits of romance and angst remind me so much of my junior high/middle school years. The basic story is that Jess has to plan a dance for Homecoming, so she gets all her friends to help, forgetting that some don't get along. One of the subtle themes that SV seems to be portraying more and more is to keep an open mind--don't judge on appearance or first impressions. In middle school and high school, this is definitely a theme that should be explored more. Ronald Rheece seems to be a total geek, Bethel very opinionated, and Kristin very superficial, but as the characters get to know one another, it becomes blatantly obvious that everyone has assets and faults, and that we can overcome them if we just keep open minds. This, in itself made the book excellent, but the clincher was the Damon-Jessica romance. Those two are destined to be together.

Great Book!

This book was great! I have read books 1-10 in this series so far and I have loved every book. If you are a twin than this book is for you. Jessica and Elizabeth switched places. Even though Liz didn't really want to, she was nice and did it anyway. If you have read other Sweet Valley Jr. High books, You get to find out what happend between Jessica and Damon. I recomend this book for anyone from grades 5- 8 th grade.
