Elizabeth and Jessica—well, mostly Elizabeth—decide that the present will be more special if they earn the money themselves. Their mom suggests they set up a lemonade stand.
In class on Monday, Lila is boasting as usual about her latest acquisition: this time, a glow-in-the-dark bracelet. She invites Jessica to go shopping with her after school; Jessica decides that she will take the $3 with her—not to spend, but just to show Lila that she has money too. Of course, this goes about as well as you can imagine. Lila pressures Jessica into buying her own glow-in-the-dark bracelets, and Jessica spends all of the money that Liz had earned.
When Liz spots the bracelet and Jess is forced to confess, Liz actually tells on her for a change. Their mother says that she will contribute Liz’s $2, because she had already earned it, while Jessica is to re-earn her share. Before long, she has charmed Elizabeth into helping her with the chores that Alice sets her.
The second-graders buy Mrs. Becker’s present and watch her get married to Mr. Otis, a town librarian. She appears to like their present… or perhaps has just grown very good at pretending to like children’s gifts during a long career as a teacher.
This one feels the most like the high school Sweet Valley out of all the Kids books so far. Jessica is so very Jessica, while Elizabeth is dull and reliable and hanging out with Todd. I thought that the shopping trip with Jess and Lila was particularly well done. Jessica’s dilemma was very believable—peer pressure when you’re a kid is difficult to resist.
