Rumors

Painful lies...

It's every girl's dream at Sweet Valley High to attend the fabulous Bridgewater Ball, and Susan Stewart has the chance to go with handsome, wealthy Gordon Stoddard. Nobody knows where Susan gets her money and style -- or who her real parents are - but everyone agrees she's beautiful, friendly, and fun to be with.

Then jealous Lila Fowler starts spreading vicious rumors about Susan's mother -- who she really is and why she abandoned Susan. No one wants to talk to Susan anymore, not even Gordon. To clear her name, Susan has to find out the truth about her parents. But is she better off not knowing?
