Power Play: Sweet Valley High #4

Power Play: Sweet Valley High #4
by Francine Pascal


Jessica has started a new club at school called the Beauties, a group that will beautify the area with community service such as flowers.  Jessica wants to fill the group with popular, pretty girls from the school.  So when Robin is interested in joining the group, Jessica is not happy.  Robin is slightly overweight and not one of the popular students.

Jessica comes up with crazy ideas that Robin must pass in order for her to be eligible to join the club.  Elizabeth is determined that Robin get to join the club, so she helps Robin pass the tests (which Jessica is not aware of.)

It was a fun story.  In the end, Robin doesn't care to be in the group and seems smarter and to have moved on.  Robin is also taking better care of herself at the end of the novel and has an amazing transformation.  She's running, has a personal trainer, and she mentioned her mom being behind her and that there is also a nutritionist.  This doesn't sound like a crash diet, just her eating healthier and starting to exercise, that's a good thing.  

I'm pretty sure I read this one years ago when I was younger.  The author must have gone back and edited it a few years back when it was republished, because when I read it, no one would have been sending emails back and forth.
