Universal are on a roll, They've hooked Diablo Cody up with the rights to Francine Pascall's epic (150 books at last count) chronicle of adolescence in Sweet Valley, California. No word on casting or plot, but they have a hell of a lot of hi jinks to get through.
To be honest I never really got into SVH it was all a white bread and butter. At fourteen though I got fucking obsessed with Pascall's other series "Fearless", about a girl born without the capacity to feel fear. She was badass, and went round at night getting in fights and playing chess in the park with bums. The books are full of fuck ups, drug addicts, near incest, abandonment, murder, kidnap, extortion, crips, and crazies. And they're set in New York, which ass fucks Southern California with a rusty pole.
