Sunset High is a 12-novel series for girls, created by Linda A. Cooney and written by Cooney and several ghostwriters, that focuses on life at a fictitious high school in Los Angeles. The series was published in the 1980s by Fawcett Publications under its Girls Only banner. ==Story and setting== The story is set at fictitious Sunset High School in Beverly Hills, California. Sunset High is considered one of the premier high schools in Beverly Hills and many of the students who attend there are the offspring of those who work in the entertainment industry, one of the biggest employers in Los Angeles and its claim to fame. A few of the students (Monica Miller for example) are stars themselves. Some kids, though, are from more conventional and ordinary families. One of the students, Josh Ross, attends Sunset due to his mom working at the school as the school nurse (His family lived in nearby Culver City, California). The story begins when Kristin Sullivan, a Junior who is from St. Cloud, Minnesota with her parents, Garth and Lila Sullivan and her younger brother, Shawn, arrives at Sunset High. Her father, a cardiologist, has moved to Los Angeles because of his job. They move into a house on swanky Rexford Drive in Beverly Hills, and Kristin begins school at Sunset High. Since she has come in the middle of the last half of the school year, she is not able to get into any activities, but she grows to like her school and she makes new friends. When she becomes a senior, however, all of that changes. She gets very involved in school and its activities, most notably Modern Dance, which was as close to cheerleading as she can come to, and also becomes more involved with her friends. Although her parents have almost split up a couple of times; her having to contend with the book series' main villain, Nadia Lawrence, and losing her first boyfriend to distance, Kristin perseveres. Making a memorable visit in the earlier books is her best friend, Amy Parker, from St. Cloud, who cannot help but be swept away by the glamour and energy of Los Angeles. She also manages to get on with Kristin's new friends. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunset High (novel series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
