"Finally, it's the day for their big adventure!", December 1, 2002
By A Customer
Well, technically, it's just Elizabeth Wakefield's big adventure, but Liz, her twin sister Jessica, and their entire sixth-grade class get to visit Enchanted Forest for the day. While there, Elizabeth stumbles into a magical realm as she searches for her missing sister in Fairy Tale Land, starting with King Abelard's Castle. In this medieval kingdom, Liz befriends and helps Princess Charity, whose family has been captured by the evil King Nestor, who also captured Jessica. He later passes Jess off, though, to the Queen of Drudgery and her sorceress ally, Grisolda; both of whom keep her as a slave.
Liz follows her sister's trail, meeting various talking animals (Allegra, a mouse; and Sidney the sea serpent), visiting an underwater Atlantis, and even running into popular Sweet Valley rock star, Johnny Buck. Yet this fantasy adventure wouldn't be complete without a few other literary/fairy tale characters thrown in, like Tom Sawyer, Rapunzel, Thumbelina, Hansel and Gretel, Peter Pan, and even the white rabbit from "Alice in Wonderland" (which this book mimics somewhat in the "tripping", out-of-body sense).
"The Class Trip" (the first Super Edition in the Sweet Valley Twins series) is one of my favorite guilty pleasures from childhood. Even my younger sister, who doesn't like Sweet Valley books at all, reread this one just as many times as I did when were kids. Ideal for preteen girls and SV fans.

Good ol' Francine Pascal, February 25, 2002

I must've read this book about a million times! I love the way she puts so much imagination into it! The whole thing with Tom Sawyer is really good. I've grown out of Sweet Valley Twins now, but I probably read almost all of them twice! And this was one of my favorites.
