Ciao Sweet Valley! — Francine Pascal

Culture clash...

Jessica Wakefield and her twin sister, Elizabeth, are looking forward to having an exchange student named Giovanna come live with them for three weeks. Jessica can't wait to show the Italian country girl all the great things about Sweet Valley. But when the Wakefields finally meet Giovanna, Jessica is in for a shock. Giovanna is gorgeous and sophisticated--and Sweet Valley bores her to death!

When Giovanna arrives at Sweet Valley Middle School, she's rude to Jessica's friends in the Unicorn Club, she talks constantly about how great Italy is, and she flirts with the cutest boys in school. As far as Jessica is concerned, Giovanna has worn out her welcome. How will she ever get through the next three weeks?
