Can Steven save Sweet Valley from burning to the ground?  The fiery conclusion to this scorching miniseries.

Jessica Wakefield cannot believe that her big brother, Steven,  has fallen for her best friend, Lila Fowler.   It's disgusting!  Even Jessica's twin sister, Elizabeth, thinks Steven is making a big mistake.  So the twins devise a perfect plan to snuff out the sparks between Steven and Lila.  But when their scheme backfires, it could lead to a fiery death for someone they love!

Lila's been told not to leave town until the arsonist who burned her home has been caught—because she's still the main suspect.  Then Steven discovers the real firebug...who holds a grudge against Lila and all the students at SVH.  Worst of all, the arsonist is preparing to strike again...

Sweet Valley High, the backbone of the collection, was made into a television series, which led to several spin-offs, including The Unicorn Club and Sweet Valley University. Although most of these books were published in the 1980s and 1990s, they remained so popular that several titles were re-released decades later.

Reviews

[Monique Brownrigg · Rating 4 out of 5]

decent book, it was interesting and I wasn't sure who the arsonist was until the reveal so that was nice.

[Sarah Baines · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant end to this mini series. Lila's vindicated and Lila and Steven get their own back on Liz and Jess! Oh and Lila's parents decide to show their faces at long last.

This book takes a sinister turn as we learn who the arsonist is. It's full of twists and turns and lots of surprises.
