Sweet Valley Junior High is a fictional young adult book series written by Francine Pascal.
The story occurs when Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield's middle school have been rezoned to Sweet Valley Jr. High for 8th grade.
She becomes close friends with Anna Wang and Salvador del Valle, and the three are actively involved with producing the school's alternative zine.
Jessica does not adapt to Sweet Valley Junior High as quickly as Elizabeth, especially as she struggles to establish some semblance of the popularity she enjoyed in middle school.
Lacey's best friend, Kristin Seltzer, is considerably friendlier and more welcoming to Jessica.
