How to Read the Sweet Valley Twins Graphic Novels

Read the eight published graphic novels in numbered order, beginning with Best Friends. The twins' friendships and school relationships develop across the books, although each volume has its own central problem.

These books adapt stories from Francine Pascal's original prose series with new scripts by Nicole Andelfinger; they do not continue after the prose books. A child can choose this full-color version as a starting point without reading the originals first. Against the Rules is announced as book 9 for January 2027 and is not counted yet.

For parents

What Parents Should Know

Penguin Random House recommends these graphic novels for ages 8–12. The drama centers on jealousy, cliques, exclusion, rumors, sibling arguments, lying, and sneaking out, with lessons about empathy and repairing friendships. The Haunted House uses mild witch rumors and spooky imagery, but the overall tone remains contemporary middle-school drama rather than horror.
