Alone in the Crowd

Lynne is a songwriter but no one else at Sweet Valley High knows about her ability. She keeps very much to herself. She's tall for her age. She doesn't care about her appearance, doesn't try as hard at school as she could and is definitely a loner.

Then there's a contest for a local band that will play a party the school is having. They're looking for a really great new song for the band and the students are invited ot submit their compositions. Lynne writes a really great song but her desire to remain separate (actually, she puts herself down and makes the assumption that others will reject her so she avoids others to avoid that rejection) causes her to submit her song but without signing it.

Liz finds out about her but has to keep quiet. The band is desperately looking for the singer/songwriter (Lynne also has a great voice). The question is if they will find out it's Lynne and how she will react to that.

It's a very good story especially dealing with self-image problems among teenagers.
