A Christmas Classic,
This review is from: A Christmas Without Elizabeth (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)
This is my favorite Christmas book of all time. In this story, Elizabeth Wakefield lends the money for the school party to a poor family so they can have a home for the holidays. But soon everyone turns against her for "misplacing" the money, and Elizabeth wishes she had never been born. Suddenly her wish has come true, and the Angel Laura comes down from above to be her tour guide, so Liz can see what life would be like without her. Elizabeth must see what life is like if she had never been born, and it isn't happy. This is an excellent book and it really gets me into the holiday spirit. I've been reading it every Christmas since I was in second grade, and it gets better each time! This book shows us that we all have a purpose on earth, even if we don't realize it. God has each of us here for a reason, and we have to remember that this holiday season. I would recommend this book to anyone!

BEST BOOK IN THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Christmas Without Elizabeth (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)
Elizabeth has the responsibility of taking care of the money for the school's Christmas party, but instead gives it to Al and Suzannah Glass so they can have a home for the holidays. When Jessica demands where she put the money, Elizabeth has to tell Jess that she lost it. In the chaos of having to cover up the fact that she gave away the school's money, Elizabeth gets everyone mad at her. When she wishes that she had never been born, her wish comes true. A girl named Laura, who claims to be her guardian angel, shows her just how important she really is. Through a series of humorous and tragic incidents, Elizabeth learns that you have to stick around, because everything may turn out to be all right. I liked this book because everthing was described in such a realistic way, you feel as if you're in the middle of the story, watching every event, hearing every wisecrack (compliments of Laura), and seeing how every plot turns out. Overall, this is the best book I have ever read. I've read it six times, each time better than the last. I highly recommend this book.

It's a Sweet Life,
By Linda "Linda" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Christmas Without Elizabeth (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)
Elizabeth Wakefield plays a modern-day Robin Hood,taking money from a party fund and giving it to a poor,homeless family at Christmas time.When she is caught she feels absolutely awful,everyone is mad at her and she whispers,"I wish I had never been born."Enter her guardian angel,Laura,a wise-cracking hippy chick from the 1960's.Just like in the classic film,It's a Wonderful Life,Elizabethh will be shown what life would be like without her,and realizes that we are all here for a reason and that she is very special.Also,Laura is fun to read about as she is so funny!
