It's Here! New Sweet Valley Book Released!
Back in July, we were excited to report that Sweet Valley High author Francine Pascal was coming out with a new line of books about Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield from the SVH book series.
Now, her new book Sweet Valley Confidential has been released, and everything in this book takes place 10 years after Jessica and Elizabeth's high school days.
As we said back in July, we don't want to give too much away, but we'll tell you that one of the girls DOESN'T live in Sweet Valley anymore AND they are NOT on good terms!
Here's what author Francine had to say about the revisited book series:
"This is the first time in history that a kids' book has made the leap into adulthood. And it's a very difficult thing because the people who used to read the books are people of importance, they're grown adults, and they have a certain ownership of 'Sweet Valley' because it was their adolescence. With the new book I hoped not to outrage them and I don't think I have. But I think I have surprised them in a lot of ways and I hope I have touched them."
Pret-ty inneresting stuff. And for those of you out there who aren't sold on revisiting Sweet Valley in book form, Diablo Cody will be bringing back Sweet Valley High, but this time as a feature film!
Sorry, Baby-Sitters Club fans! We wish we had something exciting to tell you guys too!
…At the very least, a blu-ray release of the 1995 BSC film can't be THAT far off….can it?
Are U pumped to return to Sweet Valley in book and/or film form???

Never read them. Was never interested. Always thought they were stupid and didn't get the point of dumb soap opera books that try to program girls about how they're supposed to act.
I used to love SVH… Unfornately, due to my appaling memory all I can remember is there was a book revolving around ballet and Jessica used to get jealous of Elizabeth…
If you are a Perez hater, don't visit this site on April 1st. Let's show him the power of the haters.
I was excited to hear Francine Pascal was doing this book.m I was a fan when i was a kid and teenager.(Sweet Valley Twins, Sweet Valley High, and Sweet Valley University) I even watched the TV show that they had with the girl from The Game who plays Kelly and her twin sister in it. Can't wait to check this out!
read the book in 1 afternoon. it was good- nice to revist characters from the old books- I wonder if she will end up making a new series now.
the only issue is how short it was, i wish she would have elaborated more on the 2 different story lines, and it was wrapped up pretty quick.
Perez, you are mentioned in the book!
Its BSC!! Baby Sitters Club! NOT BBC! Ive seen you do this multiple times, geez! BBC is an english channel for crying out loud.
I was a huge fan-and was really not a fan of this book. Maybe a 2 1/2 stars. AM excited for the movie though-I know Diablo will make it good
Re: tenyearsgone – Re: tenyearsgone – i really dont understand why haters would visit his site anyway , its like i hate you so i will read everything you right and critic it ? sounds more like obession, rather than haters lol.
I used to love these books! Especially the one about the long line of twins in the family through the generations, it sounds geeky, but I'm kind of curious how the Wakefield girls turned out!
Sweet Valley 2. If it sells, we'll get 3, 4, and 5. Ka ching.
Re: AynRandy – I can understand that. The books would give teen girls a vicarious mirror at a tenuous time. I was a bit too old for these books, but went nuts over every volume of Nancy Drew, AND The Hardy Boys.
I used to love those books!!!! I don't remember the plot exactly but OMG it's no longer high school drama it housewife drama lol!! Excited about the movie!
