Even when I've outgrown Sweet Valley...,
By
This review is from: The Magic Christmas (Sweet Valley Twins Magna Editions) (Paperback)
This is one of those books that you would think I would retire. I'm almost 21, a literature major, but yet I can't part with this one Sweet Valley book. This is one of the only books I could read twice in one day and still love. I've read it so many times, and it is one of my favorite books. Unfortunately it's out of print, but fortunately I still have my copy. This is seriously one of the best books I've ever read, even though it is geared towards elementary school kids. I make a point of it to read it at least once a year. It is a magical tale... magic in the genre (which is pretty much fantasy), and magic in the way it makes me feel (all warm and tingley inside) and magic in the values it has molded upon me. Jessica and Elizabeth, the famed twins, try to (unknowingly) show off to one another for their Christmas gifts... Elizabeth writes Jessica a story about a memory that she has, and Jessica actually saves money to take Elizabeth to a concert. When Jessica doesn't appreciate the story and Elizabeth cannot make a concert, they get into a huge fight. Christmas eve, they're given two dolls that belonged to their great-aunts that contain a riddle. The twins (through a magic of some sort...) solve the riddle at the same time, and ...

Merry Magical Christmas!!,

This review is from: The Magic Christmas (Sweet Valley Twins Magna Editions) (Paperback)
I needed a break from the boring, chemistry-laden memoir so I decided to read the only Magna edition that I never read as a kid - and boy, was it ever a fun distraction! I enjoyed this Christmas story as much as the others (well, maybe not as much as _A Christmas Without Elizabeth_ because that is a very fun one!). Naturally, it involved a fight between the twins and this one featured a magical adventure that, of course, ended up reconciling them. Of course, I do wish that I had read this first as a kid - I would've loved it so much more then... but it is still nice to read these books every now and again... it's like watching an old favorite TV show... like _I Love Lucy_ or _Full House_... it's just, comforting.

Truly inspirational,
By Rebekah (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Magic Christmas (Sweet Valley Twins Magna Editions) (Paperback)
I probably first read this book 6 or 7 years ago, but I make a point of reading it every year since then around Christmas time. I'm 19 now, and I still find this book extremely entertaining. When I was 12, this book inspired me to write a fantasy book. I'm still working on revising it to this day. I would recommend The Magic Christmas not only to Sweet Valley fans, but also to any fan of magic or fantasy.
