5.0 out of 5 stars
A great story of friendship!,
By A Customer
This review is from: AGAINST THE RULES (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. It teaches us never to judge people, even though they come from bad backgrounds. Elizabeth Wakefield meets Sophia Rizzo, a girl with a violent stealing brother, and a father in jail. The whole town warns Elizabeth to stay away from the Rizzo family. But Elizabeth doesn't listen, and she helps Sophia in her time of need. I thought Elizabeth really stood up for her beliefs by throwing Sophia a surprise party. It really meant a lot to Sophia, and showed that being kind can mean a whole lot. This book is great and I recommend it!

Prejudice because of Poverty and Brother's bad rep,
By Kim Possible Finicatata "Jen" (Grand Blanc,MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AGAINST THE RULES (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)
When Sophia Rizzo brings in articals to the school newspaper[The Sweet Valley Sixers],Elizabeth and Amy hang around her alot. She is a good reporter at the school newspaper,sweet and kind. Kids don't like her because after her father left,her older brother,Tony Rizzo stole VCRs cars,got into fights,you name it. He has a bad rep.The family is poor,but Elizabeth and Amy don't mind.Jessica,does mind. The Unicorns are stuck-up,not Ellen,Mary and Jessica. Elizabeth and Sophia produce their own play,about a family a father,mother,2 sisters,and a brother. Steven got into a fight with Tony. When Jessica goes to NY to see Stomp! in Elizabeth's place,she throws a birthday party,because Sophia never had one before. Then The parents come home,the same parents who told Elizabeth,Jessica and Steven to stay away from the Rizzos.
