"Sleepovers" follows five school friends—Amy, Bella, Chloe, Daisy, and Emily—who form an Alphabet Club and organize birthday parties and increasingly elaborate sleepovers. Daisy, the newest member, struggles to fit in as she navigates the dynamics of the group, especially as Chloe can be unfriendly at times. The story culminates when Daisy's own birthday arrives and she must confront the possibility of hosting a sleepover at her home, where her older sister, who has learning disabilities, lives. Jacqueline Wilson deftly explores the complexities of young female friendships and the joys and challenges of having an older sibling with a learning disability.
