alone in the crowd #28

sweet valley high GOLD! lynne henry has brown hair and wears glasses so no one wants to be friends with her. she's basically the biggest no one at sweet valley because everyone else is blonde or if they are brunette they are at least rich to make up for it.

but lynne henry has a secret talent - she's a singer/songwriter who is capable of moving an audience to tears with her heartfelt songs about being a loser. so lynne falls in love with one of the guys who plays in the droids (svh's most awesome rock band) - guy chesney, and even though she is a glasses wearing loser he actually TALKS TO HER! OMG!

lynne enters a competition in which she has to write a song that the droids will basically steal because they can't be bothered writing their own songs... so she submits a song anonymously because god how awful would it be if someone thought she was more than just a dork! WHAT?

her song gets chosen as like the best song ever written, and guy chesney falls in love with the voice on the tape and goes in search of the mystery songwriter, and it turns out to be lynne! OMG! WHO decides to ask her mom for a makeover, because basically if you don't wear cool clothes, swap glasses for contacts, put on some make up and do something with your hair you will ALWAYS be a loser and never have guy chesney fall in love with you. guy chesney finds out that it was lynne who sang on the tape after liz stalks her at work. guy falls in love with her just after her make over so that's convenient, because really, guy chesney isn't going to want to be seen with someone in glasses and baggy t-shirts.

while all this is happening jessica is being a pain in everyone's ass as usual and plans this benefit for the cheerleaders because they need new skirts. she has this nutso idea to get a rocking chair in the gym and make all the cheerleaders take turns rocking on it for like 24 hours and call it - rock around the clock - and have the droids play like 50s music. it sounds weird, but actually it turns out really cool.

liz doesn't do much, but whatever, she's boring anyway.

5 stars.
