Bitten by the acting bug...


Jessica Wakefield's latest dream is to become an actress. So when she discovers that Sweet Valley's own Mrs. Harrington is really Dolores Dufay, star of stage and screen, she can barely contain her excitement.


With help from her twin sister Elizabeth, Jessica and Mrs. Harrington develop a true friendship. And with some special behind-the -scene coaching from the famous actress, she gets the lead in a play that her Saturday acting class is producing. But it looks like curtains for Jessica when her acting partner gets stage fright on opening night. Will the show go on--or will Jessica's stage career be over before it begins?
