"Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are identical twins at Sweet Valley High.  They're both popular, smart, and gorgeous, but that's where the similarity ends.  Elizabeth is friendly, outgoing, and sincere-nothing like her twin.  Snobbish and conniving, Jessica thinks the whole world revolves around her. Trouble is, most of the time it does.  Jessica always gets what she wants-at school, with friends, and especially with boys. This time, Jessica has set her sights on Todd Wilkins, the handsome star of the basketball team-the one boy Elizabeth really likes.  Now it's a game of double love, with Todd as first prize.  Elizabeth doesn't want to lose him, but what Jessica wants, Jessica usually gets . . . even if it ends up hurting her sister. Meet the Wakefield twins, their guys, and the rest of the gang at Sweet Valley High." Sweet Valley High is a novel series created by Francine Pascal, who presided over a team of ghostwriters for the duration of the series.
