You wait five episodes for some action in this mini-series and then all of it comes at once! Yes, it's all kicking off at Camp Echo Mountain and we are loving it. Jessica skives off the colour war to picnic with Paul, leaving doormat Liz to compete in her challenges as well as her own. But then she's captured by an axe-wielding maniac whose name is so amazing we simply can't spoil it here! Can Liz and Nicole put aside their differences to save not just Jessica but the killer's other captives? All this and our new faves Buford and Johansen take up new surprising roles!

We're back in Camp Echo Mountain, and there's a new villain in town. But is local maniac (their words, not ours!) Crazy Freddy just a campfire horror story, or is an axe-wielding killer really lurking by the lake? Our new favourite character Nicole is determined to convince Liz of the latter, though considering how good Liz is at gaslighting herself, Nicole doesn't have to try too hard. Meanwhile Paul continues to be irredeemable, a floral French picnic provides a moment of genuine hilarity, and a much-loved old character returns...

We’re back at Camp Echo Mountain, where Jessica’s plan to win Paul’s horrible heart reach new heights of sociopathic toxicity. If you literally have to kidnap someone on a canoe, it’s a bad sign Jess! Meanwhile a heartbroken Liz gets bad advice from Maria, Winston rides a horse and Lacey loses her damn mind. Remember, if you can help us expand our SVU collection, which we would really appreciate, you can see what we need here and mail us at [email protected]: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wgq5a-0C3zoTC065tOzJmSkI2kNBBe2K38Hu8jn8qg8/edit?usp=sharing

It's movie night in the clubhouse this week, as we take a look at the 1983 TV movie Quarterback Princess - and are thoroughly charmed by it. The original '80s Sweet Valley vibes are strong with this one, as Canadian teenager Tami Maida - played by Helen Hunt – spends a term at an American high school and becomes their star quarterback. We expected clichés, but instead we got a surprisingly warm, naturalistic depiction of a girl who defies convention and is celebrated for it by her lovely family and the cutest football team ever. All this and a character who basically is Jessica Wakefield! Oh, and some football stuff that went totally over our heads.

If you like, you can watch the film on YouTube before hearing our recap of the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETCCvJx3nFI

Is Liz in a lavender haze? She's certainly not in her right mind in this episode, as she's torn between Todd and Joey. Will she actually make a choice between the two boys or will her nemesis Nicole (whose crimes have clearly been forgotten by everyone else at Camp Echo Mountain) make it for her? Meanwhile Jessica responds to toxic masculinity in the least healthy way possible, Lila continues a Sweet Valley tradition and Winston is dressed up as a cowboy against his will (the most entertaining bit of this boring book).

We're back at Camp Echo Mountain, which continues to be a mess thanks to the disturbingly unprofessional Lacey Cavannah. As Lila pretends to be an outdoor type to impress Bo and Liz mopes over red-lipped Pob, sorry, Joey, Jessica is feeling quite smug - her vow to stay away from boys has left her the happiest member of the trio. But of course she can't fight her true nature for long! And Liz's crush isn't her only problem, as her own campers and the evil Nicole continue to torment her. Will justice ever be served?

It's the summer holidays (again)! And so the twins and Lila are off to Camp Echo Mountain, an absolute kip in the wilds of Montana. Liz can't wait to be reunited with her former BFF Maria Slater (who?) and mould young minds, but alas things don't work out as she planned - not least because Maria is joined by her current BFF Nicole - and when Liz meets her redheaded rival, it's "hate at first sight". Will she be distracted by alleged hunk Joey? Meanwhile Jessica swears off boys (well, she has buried three boyfriends by now, she needs a break) and Lila is determined to snag an extreme sportsman called Bo.

The high school war is drawing to a close, but as the incredibly spoilery cover and indeed title suggest, there'll be a tragic casualty before peace breaks out. While this half of the book has a lot of boring surfing stuff, it also contains a lot of drama, including Todd's melodramatic prison fears, scary bikers who sell boats, Rosie being the worst undercover agent ever, and Bruce planning a carjacking. All this and some surprising shout outs to legendary Sweet Valley moments of the past!
