When doing a report for school,Elizabeth and Amy are going to have a fire in a fireplace.Elizabeth wanted to sleepover at Amy's but Mrs.Wakefield said No,the family went to out to dinner. The next morning at school,Amy isn't at School,Elizabeth is worried. She finds out her house has burned to the ground[True] Amy has broken both legs[not true] the ambulance went so fast it crashed[not true]. When Elizabeth gets home from school,Amy is on her bed,She tells Elizabeth what happened. She tripped on a shoelace and broke her arm. They lost all their stuff. Amy's baton,her report,her books. Her parents made it out alive. It's like having another sister around. When Amy goes to School,she is wearing a purple ribbon in her hair. The Unicorns want her to sit with them at the Unicorner at lunch.When The Unicorns are being nice to Amy,they let Amy borrow their clothes untill Amy can get clothes of her own. Amy is rude and bosses Elizabeth. Elizabeth brings out a stuffed Koala bear,when she is lonely,and then Bruce Patman calls Elizabeth"Baby Bear" Brooke Dennis is having a party for "Car Capers" and The Unicorns let Brooke sit with them,too. Amy lies a little bit about the fire,and she suspects that she did it,but it was caused by Faulty Wiring.

This review is from: Amy Moves In (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)

Poor Amys house has burned to rubble and she is now staying with the wakefields until her mum and dad can find a new house.Only problem is that the stress of the rercent fire has troubled Amy and she is being rude to Elizabeth..this is much like Amys Pen Pal.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was pretty good!, July 28, 1998

This review is from: Amy Moves In (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)

I think this was a realistic book, because even as best friends, they always get on your nerves when you're with them for a long while. It was sort of prediciting though, because you KNEW they'd become friends again, and you knew that Amy really didn't start the fire.
