Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Susannah Harker reads Sleep-overs in this unabridged two-cassette pack.
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

Daisy is a new girl at school. Sleepovers are the latest craze in school and everyone's having one. But Daisy has one problem. Her big sister Lily, can't speak or walk and Daisy is afraid everyone will poke fun at her.

Daisy hasn't got a best friend but she wants Emily to be hers. When it is Daisy's turn for a sleepover, her mum invites Chloe and to back her up she invites Amy Bella and Emily too....Jaqueline Wilson is a very good writer and this is one of her best books. I had this book for my 9th birthday and read it in two days!!! It was great!

This is an excellent book which describes its characters well, and deals with the problems a child can face with a disabled sister. The descriptions of the sleepover parties are very good, especially the last one which is Daisy's, the main character. By Lottie, aged 11.

I love Jacqueline Wilson books as well, as she doesn't shy away from difficult subjects like disability. The characters in the book - and the way they relate to each other - are very believable, and the book has an upbeat and satisfying ending. I thought it was excellent, a great read for most kids and really inclusive for any who may have disabled brothers or sisters of their own.

I read this book straight through to my daughter 7 and my son 10.
It didn't take much to persuade me, as I was hooked too.
We all felt for Daisy in her dilemma for a sleep-over birthday party.
We booed at Chloe and cheered at the surprising end.
I'm off to buy more books by this fabulous author.
Buy it! We're sure you won't be disappointed.
