I totally paused!

The look on Liz’s face is just killing me here! She’s like, totally worried about Amy trying out for the Boosters and getting humiliated! And what’s up with Amy’s outfit? I’d be worried about my friend if they wore jeans that high and a shirt 5 sizes too big too.

Really this book was pretty boring. More of the same Unicorns are mean to everyone in sight, Liz wants to help everyone in the world and can’t stand to see someone getting hurt in any way, people are mean to Ken Matthews. I was rather amused that Elizabeth was so shocked that Jessica was behind some of the nasty things the Unicorns pulled – she was as angry as she’d ever been in her whole life that Jessica wrote letters to Amy from Ken and to Ken from Amy! I also love that in the sixth grade, you can just write strange letters and that will get people to stop talking to each other.

Some of my favorite parts consisted of Liz thinking Jess was awful for not wanting anyone but the Unicorns to get on the Boosters squad, and then Jess can change Liz’s mind by simply clearing the table. You know you don’t do anything around the house when you can please people by once in awhile doing something like this. “How could she think Jessica was anything but sweet and lovable?” Umm, maybe because she sees what Jessica does constantly and realizes that Jess is INSANE!

It seems like they are better about consistency in the Twins series so far – they have talked about ballet in every book as of now, and Nora Mercandy was even in this book for five seconds! Oh, and have I mentioned that Ken Matthews is short? Cuz he is. People call him midget regularly.

Another thing that caught my eye was them describing school lunch…it’s pizzaburgers again! I don’t even know what a pizzaburger is, I’m relatively certain I don’t want to know either. Anyway, Jess is complaining about them and Lila says “You shouldn’t eat stuff like tht anyway. You’ll get fat.”

Perhaps I’m overly sensitive, but these girls are supposed to be twelve. At that age, you should absolutely still eat pizzaburgers! Or if you don’t, it should be because they sound disgusting, not because of the caloric content. I guess they just must be setting things up for the twins “perfect size six figures” in the SVH books, but man, talk about a bad example. It’s amazing I never became anorexic!

And of course, we get the lead up to the next book. Will Jessica be able to make it to the Johnny Buck concert? How will we ever live in this kind of anticipation?!
