After buying the first couple of books and not caring for them too much, I decided to give the third one a try as well because I was always a big fan of the series. The storylines don’t really match up that well to those of the show but the third book was better than the first two.

I was going to give it one star because I didn't like it much, but halfway through with the kidnappingstory it got better.

Ah! The 90's, such simpler times. Let's go back, shall we....

Spring Break!!!!
Lisa wins a design contest and has to go to San Fransisco to have her design in a fashion show. The bayside gang decides they all should go. And Kelly will be the model to wear the winning design.
And you know that there is almost definitely always a snafu.
Lisa neglects her friends, Zack misses Kelly and Kelly gets kidnapped.
But friends are always around the corner to help.

I got this book at a library book sale about 3-4 years ago. I finished it really fast. I thought the story line was really good. I told my dad about reading this, and he brought up that I was a show and stil is on sometimes in the mornings. So we started watching the show, and I've loved it ever since, thanks to this book!

Cute story. I grew up watching this show and love books based on old shows I watch or watched. This was a fun quick read that stayed true to the characters of the show. A little drama happens to the characters as they try to avoid getting mixed up in a dangerous kidnapping plot. If you were a fan of the show I think you'll like this book.

I gave this book 3 more for the nostalgia value then for the content. I remember it being a fun book but don't recal the story line.

Got this as a hand-me-down book from my mom's friend's kids. Thought it was absolutely ridiculous, even then. I wonder why people bother writing books based on television sitcoms...

It's poorly written, utterly shallow, childish and occasionally bordering on inadvertently inappropriate....in other words it captures the show perfectly. I found it enjoyable but I am a dork
