The Magic Christmas

I was recently telling a friend about this book because I loved it so much when I was in jr. high. But, while I could remember the synopsis, I had no idea what the title was. She suggested I Google it. So I did and I absolutely am ordering this so I can read it again. And it will get here just in time for my kids to wrap it and give it to me for my 38th birthday.

This is one of those books that you would think I would retire. I'm almost 21, a literature major, but yet I can't part with this one Sweet Valley book. This is one of the only books I could read twice in one day and still love. I've read it so many times, and it is one of my favorite books. Unfortunately it's out of print, but fortunately I still have my copy. This is seriously one of the best books I've ever read, even though it is geared towards elementary school kids. I make a point of it to read it at least once a year. It is a magical tale... magic in the genre (which is pretty much fantasy), and magic in the way it makes me feel (all warm and tingley inside) and magic in the values it has molded upon me. Jessica and Elizabeth, the famed twins, try to (unknowingly) show off to one another for their Christmas gifts... Elizabeth writes Jessica a story about a memory that she has, and Jessica actually saves money to take Elizabeth to a concert. When Jessica doesn't appreciate the story and Elizabeth cannot make a concert, they get into a huge fight. Christmas eve, they're given two dolls that belonged to their great-aunts that contain a riddle. The twins (through a magic of some sort...) solve the riddle at the same time, and ...

I've started reading sweet valley twins a long time ago when i was about 8 years old. This is my favorite book of the series and i still love it. On christmas Eve Jessica and Elizabeth get into a huge fight. The next day their grandparents give them too magic dolls, and soon they get transported to another land. but not together . With their dolls who turn into princes. The story is about them trying to find eachother and get back home. Its a great book filled with humor, adventure and even some romance. It might even make you cry its so touching! read it!

I've read many Sweet Valley Twins/High books when I was little but this particular one just touched my heart. I actually forgot the name of the book and spent 2 months trying to find it. It was just the perfect balance of magic and friendship that equaled the perfect fairy tale. The books awesome, go out and buy it. Trust me you won't regret it.

This book is my favorite of the Sweet Valley series. I began reading them when I was like 7 or 8 (I'm 17 now). These books helped me to become a good reader. When I would read them I felt I was a part of their world. I grew up with the characters (they follow the same twin sisters and their friends through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college!) and when I skim through some of them today I feel like I'm visiting old friends. I recommend parents buy this book (and others in the series!) for their daughters! They'll be developing essential reading skills and loving it!

THIS BOOK IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST AND OF THE SERIES. YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY READ IT SO GO BUY IT
