It’s young adult author Spencer Hall’s first journey to Sweet Valley and he brings some great YA takes!  He and Kat spend most of the episode with The Droids drummer Emily Mayer as she deals with an evil stepmother and a father who is perhaps the worst example of parenting so far (and that’s saying A LOT).  The Wakefield grandparents are also in town, which thrills Elizabeth and Jessica, but causes some unrest in the family dynamics.  Finally, the episode ends with a lovely sentiment on what makes a good book and how you can support your favorite author.
