Amy's pen pal mysteriously appears on her doorstep with a story about how she'd sent Amy a letter and figured that since Amy hadn't said no, it was okay if she crashed at Amy's for a bit while her parents go out of town. This being the Valley, the scheme sort of works.

Of course, the flipside is that her pen pal will snag the Unicorns' attention and she'll flip on Amy, not realizing the precise moment when the Unicorns recognize a con when they see one. Amy and Elizabeth come to her rescue, you find out she's run away from home, and very important lessons are learned. Namely, when you run away from home, the responsible parents would call your parents and demand to talk to them, lest a situation like this actually happen. Or something.

I never realized how many Amy books the SVT series brought us.
