Sleepover Squad #1
Sleeping Over
WANT TO SLEEP OVER? COME JOIN THE FUN!
It's the last week of second grade, and Taylor has big news for her best friends, Emily, Jo, and She's inviting them to her house on Friday night to celebrate! But this is no ordinary party -- it's going to be their first sleepover party!
The girls can't wait to stay up late, play games, and watch movies. But Emily is also secretly worried. She knows her parents aren't going to let her spend the night at Taylor's, and she doesn't want to be left out of all the fun.
Will Emily have to stay home and miss the party, or can she find a way to prove to her parents that she's old enough to go?

**Rated by my daughter**

It was really good to read and if you want to go for a sleep over and your parents say no then dont be mean to them if you be mean to them then you have to say sorry and then they might let you go for a sleep over.

In book number one second-graders Emily is worried that her parents will not allow her to go to Taylor’s sleepover celebration of the first day of summer vacation. In this first book of the series Denton fails to fully develop the characters, but the chapters are short, the text easy to read, and the smattering of illustrations will appeal to beginning chapter readers.

"You have to read this book, Penny", said one of my favourite patrons on Friday afternoon. She was in the library after school as she always is on a Friday and she thought I would like to know about this series. She was on the hunt for #4 and we found it for her and then, as she was leaving with her mother, she passed #1 on to me because she knew I would like it.
Checked it out and read it over this weekend. It was in the pile on the stairs and my 10-year old read it also and said it was great but really for younger kids. I can see her point as the four girls in the sleepover squad are in grade two but it doesn't read too young. They are in the second grade but their conversations and interaction with parents and siblings ('boring' younger and older brothers)would seem real to many girls in grade school. It's not a series that must be limited to younger readers.
It was a great book - got the thumbs up from both of us - and I am looking forward to the series. I agree with my young patron that it isn't "as good as Heidi Heckelbeck" but it is hard to compete with any series where the main character has magic. So, the sleepover squad is a wonderful choice for fans of the Rainbow Magic Fairies and a great starter series for a strong reader in the lower grades. It's fun but has enough conflict to make it worth the read. It does not have any magical spells or potions in the text but it is a sweet book with lots to enjoy.

C. children's book, girls', I didn't care for it because it gives youngsters the idea that they need to grow up too fast.
