This book isn't scarry at all.In fact it's really sweet and is about Jessica(my favorite twin).I recall reading this as a kid and am now rekindled reading the Sweet Valley series and was so tickled and thrilled to fine that this book was still in print.
If you're a fan of the Christmas Caroll like retelling and am a big of Sweet Valley fan as I am.You will love this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas for Jessica, December 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Christmas Ghost (Sweet Valley Twins Super Chiller Book 1) (Paperback)

I've always enjoyed Sweet Valley Twin books, but the special editions in particular. This book was fun and exciting. Like in "A Christmas Carol," Jessica is shown the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. We learn a lot about Jessica's personality, and a lot about her life. I think it's a great book, especially since it's the Holiday season. This book will probably get you "in the spirit." While I don't think it's very scary at all, it's a great Christmas story. And as usual, it shows the strong bond between two great sisters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real page turner!, August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Christmas Ghost (Sweet Valley Twins Super Chiller Book 1) (Paperback)

This is a VERY good book! I've always liked Jessica but have been disapointed by the way she acts sometimes, so I was really glad that something happened to show her what's wrong with her 'ways'. This book was kinda creepy, and really made you want to keep reading!!!
