Oh my god, this book was infuriating.
A sexist teacher named Mr. Davis becomes their new homeroom advisor and splits the class up into boys and girls. He favors the boys from day one and instructs the girls to make sandwiches (!!!) for the whole group during a class trip. The girls don't want to cause a fuss, so they do it? Shocking.
He says things like "you catch like a girl" and won't allow the girls to direct their class Follies entry or play in the big baseball game and basically calls the boys superior in every way. Worst is the boys who all love the attention Mr. Davis is giving them, and start treating the girls like their servants.
Truly, this whole read made me furious. The girls pull together, making Mr. Davis's life pretty miserable, and good. Deserved.

October 11, 2022This book made me SO ANGRY when I was a teenager first reading it, and it still makes me SO ANGRY now. Seriously, they should've burned this guy's house down or something (you know Jess is capable of it), instead of forgiving him.

June 2, 2022Boys Against Girls
Jessica and Elizabeth discuss their new homeroom teacher at breakfast. Ned and Alice say that at least they’ll stop complaining about their old substitute teacher and the twins say the worse part was how the boys acted up with the sub. Steven teases that the new teacher just might let the boys get away with murder (spoiler alert) because he’s one of them. Jessica hopes he’s cute. Liz hopes he’s nice.
When they get to class the first thing Mr. Davis does is separate the class. Boys on one side of the class. Girls on the other side. Then he gives the boys all the good jobs (taking the messages) and the girls are the demeaning jobs (watering the plants, feeding the gerbil, cleaning up the room). Liz, Amy, Nora, and Lila get room clean up. Jessica gets feeding the gerbil. (Jessica HATES this because she thinks they’re dirty and smelly and we all know Lila Fowler has never cleaned up a thing in her life). He picks of course a boy to tell him about the events. The sixth graders have a softball game on Friday. This homeroom is called “The Tigers”. If they win the game they’ll win the competition. If they don’t they’ll have to play another game. There’s also a skit coming up (The Follies). Liz is hoping to direct it and Nora wants to write it. (I thought Sophia was the writer). They’ll also be going to the San Diego zoo the next day. Mr. Davis gives Elizabeth some money and tells her to buy what she needs and they can make sandwiches (She probably should have spoken up and said that’s what the money was for-to get lunches AT the zoo).
So, the next morning Amy, Liz, and Nora find themselves making sandwiches (bologna and cheese and peanut butter and jelly). Jess makes Mr. Davis a “special sandwich” mixed with all the combinations together and puts coconut flakes on top. At the zoo, Mr. Davis ignores the girls and takes the boys request of the animals they want to see. The sandwich goes over just how it’s supposed to (hopefully it made him puke off-page). But he all buys them ice cream at the end of the day. Liz thinks well he bought us all ice cream. He must not be so bad. When they get back he says they’re going to start having class discussions and the first topic will be poetry.
Only he gives the girl’s a dumb poem about fairies playing in the garden and he gives the boys an exciting poem about soldiers. When Amy tells him *exactly* how she feels about the poem and asks him why he didn’t give them a poem like the boys. He said he felt it was more “appropriate”. It’s said earlier in the book that he came from an all-boys school. To add to the insult, he picks Tom to direct the skit and another male student to write it. The skit will be about some guys dressing up as apes to capture a real ape. Liz even tries to talk to Tom about it but he just says Mr. Davis was right. He needed someone who could handle directing. At this point, the boys are starting to follow in Mr. Davis’s footsteps. Some of em throw stuff around the classroom and expect the girls to pick it up.
All the girls in Mr. Davis’s homeroom meet over the Wakefield’s and Jess comes up with a plan. Since Mr. Davis thinks all the girls are weak, they’ll *act* like he thinks they are. Jessica makes up a signal and when she does they’ll all start giggling. She tests it out on Steven and pretends she can’t open a soda. Steven is confused but does it. Then Jess gives the signal and they all start giggling. Then makes Steven nervous and he eventually leaves. Jess and Ellen get out of their chores by telling Mr. Davis the watering can is too heavy and the gerbils scare her (Jess). Mr. Davis assigns boys to do the tasks. Then they do the giggling thing. Mr. Davis just looks at them like oh well they’re girls. He makes an announcement that Mr. Clark will be coming to observe the class and asks for ideas what they can discuss. The boys know something is off when Amy suggests make-up. They eventually settle on the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
They have a game later, and the girls play badly. Mr. Davis chews the boys out and says they can’t blame the girls cause that’s how girls play. Then he questions why they’re even on the team. He says he’ll work with them, but the best thing to do is kick all the girls off the softball team.
The girls meet up again and discuss a way to get Mr. Davis fired. Starting with Mr. Clark’s visit. When Mr. Clark visits, the girls are on their worse behavior. They chew gum loudly in class, talk to each other while the boys are trying to discuss the Constitution, throw their books on the floor, and when they *are* asked questions they either say they don’t know or give stupid answers. They even pretend to fall asleep in class. Mr. Davis *tries* his best to ignore them, but Mr. Clack is appalled. He calls Mr. Davis into the hallway and tells him to get his class in order. After Mr. Clark leaves, Mr. Davis announces that the school council is considering redoing the school and a Representative will be elected and picked Monday to give suggestions. Liz and Amy both want the position but they know they don’t stand a chance of getting it. Jessica says maybe they will.
The girls decide to watch the boys practice their skit. It is SO BAD! They’re running all over the place and don’t know the lines. Tom sees Liz and asks her for help. She wants to but Amy and Jessica are there. So she says NOPE! Tom gets mad and says she’s just jealous. There’s a good skit at the contest that’s a parody of Alice and Wonderland. It’s about a student falling down a rabbit hole and ending up at SVMS. Then there’s the boy's skit which is HORRID! Liz hears Mr. Clark saying her class is out of control and he’ll have to have words with Mr. Davis.
Mr. Davis gets chewed out and tells the class the principal wasn’t happy with the skit and maybe he should have let the girls participate. But he’s still not letting them play in the game because boys are just better at sports. But he starts to sing a different tune when the boys are losing the game. The boys finally admit they need the girls. Mr. Davis gives them permission to play but they demand an apology. So because he wants the game won e apologies. Then when they win he offers to buy them pizza.
My Thoughts: There really needs to be a way to test people before you hire them permanently. It *should* have set off some kind of warning beforehand while reading this guy’s resume coming from an *ALL BOYS MILITARY* school that maybe this wasn’t a good fit. There should have been questions about have you ever worked with girls. Do you think you *could* work with girls? And then there should have been some kind of *trial* where they observed him working with all the students WAY before he was observed in the book. I had a prick of a boss like this once, only it wasn’t just females he was obnoxious to it was EVERYONE in his group. And it really makes me wonder how much time companies spend on researching the employee before they hire the person. It would save a lot of time and money from having to fire them later if they did. I honestly don’t think Mr. Davis changed that much in the hours of ONE GAME! The only reason he let the girl’s play at all was so they could win the game. Now all of a sudden he’s a changed man and sees their worth. RIIIGHT! After all those years of not seeing them AT ALL! I did like how the girls united and stood up for themselves against this jerk. I don’t really remember if he’s featured in any more of the books because I only had a limited amount of these books (up to probably 20) but I hope not. I hope he was just temporary. I also kind of skipped over the softball game at the end just to get to the end. This one wasn’t all that good (in more ways than one).

I didn't have an interest in reading these books, but I think one of my sisters must have because sometimes they were around the house and I was the kind of kid who'd randomly pick up and breeze through anything that was sitting there. I liked the concept of this one--well crap, it's a sexist teacher!--but it was really exaggerated. I guess that's how some kids' books are; the author thinks they have to beat you over the head with it. Even though the teacher is a total jerk to the girls and deliberately gives them "girl" jobs to do and sort of insults them by giving them different SCHOOLWORK that's tailored to what he thinks girls are interested in, nobody bothers to report this guy. Instead the whole class comes up with a) silly ways to make him look like he's doing a terrible job during an evaluation, and b) convoluted ways to force female participation in the classroom and in softball. This really isn't what you should do if you have a sexist teacher, folks.

The class gets a new homeroom teacher and he is as sexist as they can possibly come. Right off he calls on boys and not girls; assigns girls clean-up tasks; separates the boys and the girls in the class physically and even ends up taking all the girls off the baseball team, even though some of them are far better players than the boys.
The girls in the room, along with Jessica and Elizabeth, all work up different ideas to try to make him pay attention to them and treat them equally, including one where an observer is treated to a display by the girls that makes him chastise the teacher. It finally comes down to the baseball championship of the sixth grade before he realizes his mistake.
A good book.

I absolutely loved Sweet Valley as a young girl and teen. Recently I have had a case of nostalgia and found this at the library. So much fun to read it together with my 8 year old.
Read
December 15, 2025There's a new teacher in town and that teacher is Jessica and Elizabeth's homeroom tutor, Mr Davis. Mr Davis has come from an all boys school (which is apparently an important plot point).
Mr Davis' first port of call is to divide the classroom into girls on one side, boys on the other. He then proceeds to allocate the girls tasks like watering the plants, tidying up the classroom after class, feeding the gerbils and making sandwiches for the class trip to the zoo. The girls are outraged, as this doesn't seem to be an ironic teaching moment. Mr Davis really is a sexist mentalist. The girls rebel by wearing frilly dresses, claiming a watering can is too heavy for them to pick up, giggling on Jessica's cue, and gossiping throughout the softball game. This tactic massively backfires on them when they get kicked off the softball team and the theatre show. At the softball final, the girls show up in full gym uniform and don't intervene until the losing Sweet Valley team start getting booed. Saint Elizabeth demands a full apology from Mr Davis before the girls take over the game and win. Mr Davis claims he didn't know girls are as capable as boys as he "isn't used to teaching girls" which is just about the lamest excuse I've ever read. Still, no mention of Lois Waller OR fat shaming!

Sweet Valley Twins 17 - Boys against Girls
I remember hating the boys in this one, so let’s see if I still do…
The twins have a new home room teacher, Mr Davis. He’s a straight up misogynist. He thinks girls should clean the room, water plants and barely looks at them. Worst of all, he doesn’t think they can play softball, even though Amy and Jess are two of the homerooms best players in the upcoming final. The girls are furious and I am too. Lila wants her Dad to get him fired, but Jess thinks they should handle it themselves… by acting the way they’re being treated - helpless! Being scared of gerbils, not being able to lift heavy watering cans, and playing badly during the baseball game final. It backfires and the girls get kicked off the team 😬 So Jess convinces the girls to play up in front of the Principal to Mr Sexist fired. It almost works. He announces there’s going to be nominations to be on a committee to remodel the school, and Liz wants to do it but is certain a boy will get it. The twins convince one of the boys to stay home, and 3 girls get nominated, Mr Sexist isn’t happy. Their home room then bombs the 6th grade follies because the boys skit is horrible. Mr Sexist is looking awfully bad. But he still refuses to allow the girls to play baseball, so they sit in the sidelines in their uniforms. The boy suck, and finally beg the girls to save the game - which they do after an apology from the boys and Mr Sexist.
My rating - 2/10 - infuriating.

Elizabeth and Jessica are excited that they're going to get a new male teacher, because they are rarely taught by men. But because the teacher has only taught boys before, he discriminates against the girls--assigning them to serve the boys food, giving them different "girly" classwork, and only allowing boys to participate in answering questions. He also believes they cannot play sports. Something has to be done, and the Wakefield twins are ready to take this jerk on.
People like this teacher exist, though usually don't manifest their sexism in such obvious ways as literally creating two sets of classwork because of ridiculous beliefs about girls' minds. However, the exaggerated sexism wasn't the most unbelievable part of this. It frustrates me when characters in situations like these create convoluted plots to shame, embarrass, or trick the person who's done them wrong. Is it really that much of a stretch to show the principal or another adult that this jackass is giving girls different work and request an observation or review? I know that wouldn't make a particularly great story, but finding a constructive way to deal with a sexist teacher sounds like a cool subject to tackle--it doesn't have to be unrealistic to this extent.

RATING: 4 STARS
(Review Not on Blog)
I picked up one of the Sweet Valley Twins novel at the library (before my strict read in order only rule) and fell in love with the California twins and their friends and family. I had just started reading thicker chapter books, and joining the library summer reading club, I went through these books pretty quick. I was excited that I could read and really fell in love with books and reading. I believe I was about 7-9 when I read these books so it was exciting to read about 12 year old popular preteens. I could relate to both Elizabeth and Jessica, and really could not pick which twin I liked better. I would not finish this series as I would quickly move on to Sweet Valley High (Double Love). These are very tame books, and any age could read them. First crushes and bullying were the big issues that I can remember. This is very Full House (TV series) kind of books.

Girls against Boys is super funny. Even though it was not realatable because no teachers at our school have favorites, I could get why they started the 6th grade war!!! They thought it was super unfair because their new teacher mr.Davis was giving all the boys the good fair projects and the girls had to do something about it! i loved this book and i could not stop reading it.
