With the off-Broadway debut of her play just around the corner, Elizabeth Wakefield hasn't a nail left to chew--because her lead actress is a disaster! Can she convince Jessica to step in for opening night? Tom Watts has finally found the journalism job he's been dying for. But now his boss wants him to review Elizabeth's play! Will Tom find a way to give it a thumbs-up? Or will he be forced to report the cold, hard facts? Join Elizabeth, Jessica and their friends as they seek out new thrills and excitement during their summer break from Sweet Valley University.
