49: MALIBU SUMMER

It's summer time! And where better to spend it than on a Californian beach? Not the sands of Sweet Valley, though, because Lila, Jess and Liz are heading to Malibu, where they have been employed via a worryingly casual childcare agency to work as "mother's helpers". You might need some mother's little helpers in the Rolling Stones sense (just keep Enid away from them) to get through all the DRAMA in this book, as Jess finds herself changing nappies, Lila finds a man who isn't quite what she was expecting and Liz finds romance with an older boy who is not all he seems. And if you've been missing the Old Timey Gangster Talk, today is your lucky, lucky day - just wait until you meet Frankie La Salle...
