Sometimes these questions seemed designed to make me say "Harry Potter" but I'm forcing myself to try and think beyond the obvious. So I'm going to choose the world of Sweet Valley instead, which is somewhere I spent a lot of time dreaming about as a tween. Although ostensibly set in our world, it wasn't really - everybody in Sweet Valley was gobsmackingly beautiful and sixteen year-olds had the kind of opportunities that people in the real world wait years for just dropped into their laps (the Wakefield twins managed to work as journalists, soap stars, au pairs and models before turning 17)! Best of all? Time works differently there, so you get about eight summers every year instead of only one!
Great answer! Lot's of people went with Harry Potter, and I know it popped into my head. But I do like Sweet Valley!

I think I need to change my answer ... Can I have my own Ken Matthews? Seriously, LOVED him. LOL And I could handle 8 summers a school year. ;)

Hi, I'm Izzy and I'm stopping by for Follow Friday. Haha, what an original and funny answer! Sweet Valley definitely isn't a choice I've seen so far, and it's a nice break from all the Harry Potter that everyone's going with.

HAHAHA, I love your answer!
ReplyDeleteHave you read the new 'adult' Sweet Valley book? I keep meaning to, but it's never in at the library. Eight summers a year doesn't thrill me (winter's my favourite season!), but other than that, I'll take Sweet Valley High if I can have Jessica's bedroom!
Oh my gosh! I never even thought about Sweet Valley, but that would be fantastic! Those girls definitely had the life. Tons of excitement, but it always worked out perfectly in the end.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Sweet Valley high! Too funny! Such a different pick!.
