Wrong Kind/Girl#10

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was so realistic. Annie Whitman is the best candidate at the Sweet Valley High School cheerleader try-outs,but she has the worst reputation at school.Co-captain,Jessica Wakefield,will do anything she can to make sure "Easy Annie" doesn't get picked for the squad. Will Annie live out her dream as a cheerleader, or will Jessica's closed mind get in the way? Find out in Sweet Valley HIgh:Wrong Kind of Girl.

I strongly disagree with the reader who said this book was trashy. It really taught me something about how our actions have consequences. Jessica made a horrible mistake with her actions, and then had to suffer through her guilt of what happened next. The whole 'Easy Annie' thing was just another way to teach us that we can turn our lives around when they seem to be at their worst. And further more, Francine Pascal is my favorite author and nothing that she writes is trashy.

I absolutely loved this book. Its the best one in the series. I've read it at least 10 times. Annie Whitman wants to join the cheerleading squad but beautiful ruthless Jessica Wakefield is determined to stop her. Annie has a bad reputation and Jessica is afraid it will affect the whole squad. But only Jess's twin sister Elizabeth knows how special Annie really is. Does Jessica succeed in keeping off the squad or does her plan backfire? You'll just have to read the book to find out.

I think there's more to this book (and the rest of the SV books) than most people think. Yes, the twins are perfectly formed and have amazing lives, friends and so on but, this book seems to convey the double standards that some of the characters (mainly Jessica Wakefield) live by. It seems that Annie is labelled as 'Easy' because she tends to have a casual 'date' every night of the week, but Jessica herself claims (in almost every book) that she's bored with the 'guys' in Sweet Valley because she's dated most of them. Therefore, rather than being a 'perfect' creation of Francine Pascal's imagination, Jessica is anything but. She's hypocritical, superficial, nasty - yet, she's a cheerleader and one of the most popular girls in the school. It seems to suggest that maybe being 'perfect' isn't as great as it seems.

Jessica will stop at nothing to make sure 'easy annie' doesn't get on the cheerleading squad. If someone isn't in her close circle of friends, or else incredibly popular, she does not want them to have anything to do with her. Jessica has gone many lengths before at stopping people from getting what they want, and now she is determined not to let anyone, even her sister interfere. Elizabeth has other ideas, always the caring one she is determined not to let Jessica ruin Annie's dream, she knows Annie well. So who will win this battle between the twins, is Jessica really that determined to uphold the school's so called 'honor'? Is Elizabeth really that determined to battle her twin one more time for the sake of a freind?
