New-girl-in-school Daisy faces up to familiar childhood dilemmas in this great story for younger readers written by the acclaimed, bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson. Daisy is finding her feet with a new group of friends, slowly becoming "one of the gang" who take it in turns to have sleep-over parties. But with her own turn to play host fast approaching, Daisy is faced with the task of telling her new friends about her mentally and physically disabled older sister, and she is unsure how they will react. The spoilt Chloe, with her snide bullying tactics, presents a particular problem: she has been reluctant to let Daisy into the group, and this could give her just the excuse she needs... As ever, Wilson combines superlative, on-the-nose storytelling with an intuitive accuracy that captures the essence of familiar childhood insecurities. Readers will laugh, cry and cringe their way through this outstanding tale as Wilson's trademark heroine wins the day. Sleep-overs is a cracking story for children aged seven and over. Running time is two hours. --Susan Harrison

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a Jacqueline Wilson fan - but even if you're not and you're looking for a good ADDICTIVE read, I think I would probably shove in your face a book by Jacqueline Wilson like this one. It's about five girls - Amy, Bella, Chloe, Daisy and Emily - and they form a club called the Rainbow Girls because of their names. Have you noticed? If not, look now to avoid being confused.
Anyway, the club gets into ... ...for her birthday party. And so it continues until it comes to Daisy's turn. You see, she has a special needs sister. She can't walk or talk or feed herself. And the thing is, Chloe is really mean so she would tease her about her disabilities. But as it turns out, Daisy actually DOES have a sleepover because Daisy's dad puts up an old neglected tent for the girls to sleep in. [With cushions, of course!]
In the night, Chloe (the dead mean one) wets ...

Advantages: Really funny storyline. Disadvantages: Does not take quick readers long to read.
This book tells the reader the story of Daisy, who has recently changed schools, and of her story trying to fit in. But the sleepover she is allowed gives her the opportunity to become on of the gang. A brilliant book, which will make readers laugh and at the same time cry.
If your child is moving school I would definately recommend this book, as it makes you remember you are not the only one who is left out, and things will improve.
This book ... ...Is a very good book to be read aloud before bed time. More suited for girls, but any younger boys would also thoroughly enjoy this book. If you have read any books by Jacqueline Wilson before, you will love this one, as it is written in her distinctive style. ...
