Meanwhile,Lila's mother,Grace comes back into her life after a long time.She divorced Mr.Fowler when Lila was 2.Just when Lila needs her.Jessica then steals Todd from Elizabeth.

This was the first book I read in the SVH books, and the first SV book I've read in years. So, I was a little confused in the beginning of this book. Consider reading book 95 first.My thoughts about this book were first about Jessica's selfishness, which is no surprise, and the unfairness of Elizabeth's situation. However, it was a good page turner. Elizabeth has been arrested for involuntary murder of Sam, Jessica's boyfriend, and unknown to everyone is that Jessica spiked Elizabeth's punch. I found Elizabeth's moodiness a little depressing, and I often wondered why Jessica didn't feel more guilty, but as the book progresses it improves.Most exciting, and chilling, in this book is Margo. Margo is a foster child who feels she deserves, after growing up in abusive situations, a happy life, a perfect family, people who love and care about her, you get the idea. She makes her way towards SV, leaving a path of destruction behind her- and her evilness is absolutely chilling.I liked this book, despite the fact that the book seemed a touch unrealistic. But, hey, it makes good reading if you enjoy suspense, action, adventure, or anything like that.

Too bad Elizabeth Wakefield got arrested. Too bad Jessica Wakefield won't talk to her sister. Too bad Mrs. Wakefield won't comfort Elizabeth. Too bad Nicholas Morrow can't find a sutiable date on Hunks. Too bad Margo is coming closer to Sweet Valley. All I can say about this book is TOO BAD. (Sorry about my wierd description) READ THIS BOOK.
