The rumor on the streets is that Diablo Cody is planning to bring the Sweet Valley High franchise back to life! The woman who garnered much acclaim for her screenplay of 2007′s Juno is rumored “to have been hired by hired to write a script based on the young adult book series created by Francine Pascal and set in an idyllic California town.”

The “Sweet Valley” novels followed the lives of identical twins with dissimilar personalities — the sensitive and practical Elizabeth and the flighty and boy-crazy Jessica — in the fictional town of Sweet Valley. There were more than 150 books in the series between 1983 and 2003 and a TV series with 88 episodes between 1994 and 1997.

As a young girl I loved reading this books and watching the show on television. I know its a bit corny but does anyone else hope this makes it to the big screen?
