Book: Cammi's Crush (Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley Twins book #108) by Jamie Suzanne

Edition: Paperback

Description:

Matchmaker, Matchmaker...

Cammi Adams and Randy Mason are great students. Or at least they were, before Mr. Jules and Ms. Sherman, two of the harshest graders in middle school history, became substitute teachers at SVMS. Cammi thinks there's only one way to get the subs to soften up: make them fall in love...with each other!

Playing matchmaker isn't easy, so Cammi convinces Randy to put aside his books long enough to help her out. Cammi and Randy make a great team, but as their efforts start to pay off, Cammi realizes that there's another match she wants to make. Can lightning strike between her and Randy?

Review:

I love reading these old books, this was published in 1997 and it's not a bad read for a 19 year old book. I usually find old books at thrift stores or whenever there's a library book sale which is where I bought this Sweet Valley Twins book two years ago.

I can't believe this is the first Sweet Valley book, I've ever read. In this story the sixth graders at Sweet Valley Middle School are hoping that Cammi Adams or Randy Mason will win Scholar of the Semester. They are two of the three finalists with the third attending a different school. If either Cammi or Randy win, the principal will give the entire sixth grade a day off with a celebration in the park.

It almost seems like a total shoe in for one of them to win since they both have the best grades. However, things come to a crashing halt when Ms. Sherman and Mr. Jules, two new substitute teachers arrive at the school. They are both very harsh in their approach to teaching which caused A+ students Cammi and Randy to start getting some of the worst grades they have ever had such as Cs, Ds and Fs.

With the way things are going, Randy and Cammi can both count on losing that award but most importantly according to Jessica Wakefield is losing out on a day off from school. That is unless something can be done about Mr. Jules and Ms. Sherman and you can bet Jessica has plenty of suggestions.

However, it was Cammi who came up with the idea of getting their teachers together in hopes of them mellowing out. Working together, Cammi, Randy and Jessica set out to do just that but can love bloom between the two cantankerous teachers? And is there another love possibly blooming between Randy and Cammi or are the two studious students misinterpreting things?

I can see why the Sweet Valley books have stayed a popular series over the years, it was nice reading this fun and light-hearted story. There was a lot of humor and not to mention stress for Cammi and Randy with trying to improve their grades and trying to play matchmaker. Although the story doesn't center around the Wakefield twins, Jessica did get a fair amount of attention. She definitely couldn't stop trying to meddle by making sure that she and the rest of her sixth grade class got that day off.

I'm glad I have a few more SV books on the shelf, I enjoyed reading this.
