The Seaside Sleepover

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Another instalment in Jacqueline Wilson's highly popular Sleepover series featuring Daisy and her friends - and Daisy's sister Lily.

The summer holidays have finally arrived, and Daisy is bored. Daisy is glad she won’t have to see her worst enemy Chloe for a while but she longs for a proper holiday at the seaside, building sandcastles, eating lots of icecream and maybe even spotting a mermaid in the sea. Daisy’s sister, Lily, wants to come too but, she uses a wheelchair which can make trips to the seaside tricky. Especially with all that sand!

Daisy’s summer gets a bit more exciting when she starts looking after her neighbours’ dog, Scruff. Daisy has always wanted a dog of her own to walk and cuddle! She knows Scruff would love a trip to the seaside just as much as her.

Will Daisy, Lily and Scruff get their icecream-filled dream holiday and maybe even have a Seaside Sleepover?

Sleepovers is one of Jacqueline Wilson's bestselling books and the series is perfect for newly confident readers who are navigating primary school friendship issues. Full of relatable details and gentle confidence-building messages, these books are a great place to start your Jacqueline Wilson journey.
