Review: Sweet Valley High - Book #1- Academic All-Star ? - Various Authors - July 2019


Growing up the Sweet Valley High series was one of my favorite series for Paula aged 10-13 years old. The series was amazing, as I enjoyed the TV Series, the books and I even had the board game. Elizabeth Wakefield was also one of my literary icons. The twin was perfect as she had the grades, volunteered, and was a newspaper reporter for the school paper. I so wanted to be her. In Academic All-Star, these three authors have turned the Sweet Valley High series into a graphic novel. This was fun reading as it brought me great flashbacks and memories. In this graphic novel, we have Jessica who has fallen head over heels with her Summer School English tutor who is also married, she starts a faux-romance on Instagram and tells her friends big tales of their adventures. She is even dressing like Elizabeth to act smarter than her party girl act. This, however, gets Elizabeth in trouble as Todd is convinced that despite her busy schedule volunteering which looks good on her college applications, she is cheating on him and is acting like a jealous boyfriend which hurts Elizabeth. How can she be with a guy who doesn't trust her?

If you loved the Sweet Valley High series as a tween/teen, then this is great for memory's sake but if you are a tween/teen now, then this is an awesome introduction to the series making a comeback.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
