[edit] Character
Penny, a senior at Sweet Valley High, was editor in chief of The Oracle, the school newspaper. She makes her first appearance in SVH#3 "Playing With Fire". Her freshman sister, Tina, was a photographer for the paper. Penny was close to Elizabeth, the only one to whom she confided her dream of being editor of an international newspaper. Elizabeth also confided in Penny about her dream to be a best selling author. This was the glue that bonded Elizabeth and Penny, since their dreams were somewhat similar.
When The Oracle trialed a personals section, (as described in SVH#39, "Secret Admirer") Penny placed a joke ad which was answered by tennis player Neil Freemount. Although it was initially part of a joke thought up by his tennis teammate, arrogant Kirk Anderson, Neil developed feelings for Penny and though she was hurt to discover the joke, they eventually started seeing each other.
