If You Like Francine Pascal Books, You’ll Love…
The first book Pascal wrote in the Sweet Valley High series of books was Double Love. This book introduces us to the upper middle class family, the Wakefields who live in Sweet Valley, California. The family has twin daughters, Elizabeth and Jessica who are the main characters in the book. The two girls share everything, but when they both end up liking the same boy they will no longer be seeing eye to eye.
Another series that Pascal wrote is called Fearless and the first book has the same title. It is quite the departure from the Sweet Valley High series with more action and a tough heroine at the center. It focuses on an oprphaned seventeen year old named Gaia Moore who is not your typical high school girl. With her mom dead, she relies on the skills that her father, a secret agent, taught her before he disappeared. She’s a karate black belt and speaks multiple languages while being completely fearless. She patrols the streets at night like a certain vampire slayer and maintains a lot of the toughness people loved about that character.
