5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy...., April 12, 2000

Catwoman "svally" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Curse of the Ruby Necklace (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)

I definitely agree with the other readers, this book is great for those cold nights ;-) I thought the dreams that the twins and their cousin Robin had from wearing the necklace were pretty creepy. I also liked the blend of humour and horror from the writers. Like when Jess is trying to tell the Unicorns that she's gotten a part in a movie and Lila's too busy screeching about Jess and Ellen using her hairspray. Also, that annoying brat that was the 'star' of the film, she was so funny. Especially when Jess threw that cake at her, and everyone else joined in. I also thought it was quite sad too, especially when the ghost and her sister got together after all that time. A good read for any SV fan, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jessica and Elizabeth have stumbled into an unsolved murder!, June 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Curse of the Ruby Necklace (Sweet Valley Twins) (Paperback)

When Jessica and Elizabeth get jobs as extras in a film, Jessica's thrilled. Then she finds a beautiful necklace on the beach, near the house where the movie's being filmed. The movie's about the death of a young girl, the same age as the twins... Jessica's having nightmares about falling from a balcony unto rocks, which is exactly the way Lillian, the girl, died. Now Elizabeth, Jessica and their cousin Robin have to find the real murderer; to clear an old woman's name and to let Lillian's spirit rest in peace. This is my absolute favourite of all the Sweet Valley twins, I have read it countless times and I'm still not bored. A great book to curl up with on a stormy night!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: CURSE OF THE RUBY NECKLACE (Sweet Valley Twins and Friends : Super Chiller, No 5) (Paperback)

This book Is one of my favorie SVT chilers. It is about Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield who get parts in a movie about the mysterious death of Lillian Keller. Jessica picks up a ruby necklace from the beach nearby the mansion where Lillian fell to her death. She has awful nightmares about Lillian and her last few moments of life. She gets frieked out by the necklace, so she gives it to Elizabeth. She, also get these nightmares. Then the twins cousin, Robin waeres the necklace when sleeping and ALSO gets these horrors. The girls piece togeter 2 and 2 and visit the cousin of Lillian Keller who supposidly pushed Lilian over the cliff because she was mad at her for getting her dead mothers necklace. She tells them the true story and they set up the real killer to tape. To truely relive the facts I told you, read the book, I left out a little for your sake. :)

You should also read "The Carnival Ghost", also by Pascal. I hope you like them as much as I did.
