Sweet Valley High Hits Bookshelves!

“Sweet Valley High” was a series of books that your moms probably read, very popular in the 80s and 90s.  There was even a TV series.  Now a new book about the Sweet Valley twins, Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, is coming out.  Titled “Sweet Valley Confidential: 10 Years Later”.  Now Elizabeth is a reporter in New York and Jessica is in the middle of a divorce, and the twins aren’t speaking to each other.

I’m not sure why they bothered adding the “ten years later” part, since the original series had the twins in high school for over 20 years across over 150 different books, many written by ghost writers.  It’s the latest tween girl book-turned-movie. The movie, by the way, should release in 2012 and is to be written by the ever witty Diablo Cody (Juno).  I never read the books but I’ll probably go see the movie because I think Diablo is so talented!  Have you ever read the Sweet Valley books?
