It's time for cheerleading try-outs at Sweet Valley High. Funny, it seems like only yesterday that they were last holding trials. Book four, to be precise. Apparently they go through a lot. If you remember Lila being a cheerleader in book four, scratch that from your memory because since then, she and Cara have been thrown off the team for nefarious behaviour. By Lila? Who'd have thought.

Lila's not interested in getting back on the team, but Cara is, and Jess is determined that she'll be picked. The second girl on Jess's list is Sandra Bacon, who has the tastiest surname in all of Sweet Valley. Not on the list in the slightest? Annie Whitman.

Everyone's heard of Annie Whitman. Easy Annie, as they call her. She has a new boyfriend every week, and the talk is that she does a lot more than give them all a quick peck on the cheek to say goodnight. Annie's only a sophomore, but she's well known to the juniors for her escapades, and Jess is absolutely, definitely, 137% not going to let the cheerleaders' reputation be sullied by letting her type onto the team.

The trouble is, Annie's good. Really good. But that's not going to stop Jessica from getting her way.

In the end, Cara and Sandra get on the team (surprise surprise), Annie finds out just what everyone's been saying about her all the time, and we learn just how bad an influence the Sweet Valley books are on malleable young minds when she manages to score that coveted position on the team after all, simply by attempting to kill herself.

(At this point, it's good to remember that the original audience for these books was a bunch of impressionable 10-to-12-year-olds.)

The way that the Sweet Valley novels present female sexuality is a really fascinating thing. Annie is presented as thoroughly scandalous for her dating behaviour, but Jessica is always represented as a perfectly normal and healthy teen. In the book, we hear about Annie with five boys. By this point of the series, Jess has been interested in nine, and we know that she was a big fan of Danny Stauffer's reclining car seats. There's always the hint that Jess is into more than just the chaste kind of kissing that Liz and Todd get up to—and she's into it with a good number of boys.

I feel we're supposed to think that Annie really is having sex with the boys she dates and that's the big difference. And, when you examine the glimpses we have of Annie's home life—Annie's drunken, irresponsible mother and her lecherous boyfriend—there's no wonder that Annie might be seeking positive attention in the only way she's been shown it. She still has to be redeemed, though, because this is Sweet Valley, and sweet girls don't have sex, and certainly don't enjoy it.

You really have to wonder what Ricky Capaldo thinks about the new, chaste Annie. As a 16-year-old boy full of hormones, it must be a little sucky hooking up with the girl with the reputation, just as she turns over a new leaf.

Anyway, this is classic Sweet Valley fare. Not one of my favourites, though, due to the representation of female sexuality and the awful, awful message it gives to teenage and preteen girls.

Moral of the Story? Attempt suicide to get your way.
