Elizabeth Betrayed

Olivia has a boyfriend named Rod who seems to be quite interested in Elizabeth, thus causing some jealousy to appear. There's a major flu epidemic going on in the town and many of the students are home ill. Elizabeth has to take over doing The Oracle school newspaper without most of the regular student workers and it proves to be a very tough job.

At the same time she has to do an essay, getting help from Rod. What she doesn't know is that Rod is telling her things that he read in a book. She then uses some of his ideas in the essay and ends up being accused of plagiarism and is kicked off the paper.

Meanwhile, Jessica has decided pure honesty is the best policy and points out flaws and problems in her friends and this leads to a lot of bad feeling and a neat way for her friends to get back at her.

The main theme in the book is about plagiarism. This is a 1992 book and is basically before today's Internet with its ads for fully-finished term papers that students can buy. Plagiarism has been a topic in politics and music, also. Elizabeth did not copy something out of a book or off the Internet but it seems that she took Rod's ideas and used too much of that material in her essay (for which she got an F).

Fortunately, as always, things work out for the twins.
