I loved the series! SV Twins & High were very much a part of my childhood and helped make me the bookworm I am today.

I've been quiet, but I have a very good reason...I'm now a K-5 School Librarian and loving it! I just finished my first book fair and I noticed quite a few of my authors with MG titles. How have I missed those?! So I don't miss anyone else, what MG titles should I be adding? What should I get?
