- Sleep-Overs
Most of the girls are friendly, except for bossy, stuck-up Chloe, with her snide bullying tactics. Having Chloe as a friend is hard work, but having her as an enemy would be far worse. With her own turn to play host fast approaching, Daisy is desperate to have a sleepover. But she is faced with a dilemma - if she does, she’ll have to let her new friends meet her older sister, who is mentally and physically disabled. How will they react, and will they still want to be friends with her?
