The Sleepover by Jen MaloneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a book! I'm a big fan of Jen Malone. Meghan has a bad history with sleepovers. Even when she's with her best friends Paige and Anne Marie, she's never been able to make it through lights-out before. She's 12 now, and determined to make it through the night. Even though Paige and Anne Marie try to convince her the birthday sleepover's going to be "epic," Meghan can't stop thinking about her strict parents' rules AND her super-secret-crush Jake who's a little bit of a rebel AND next door. When she arrives, however, the girls' plans are flipped upside down. Anne Marie's new step-sister Veronica is coming! Veronica's homeschooled, goofy, socially awkward, and doesn't understand anything regular 12 year olds do. She also sneezes in sevens and plays unicycle floor hockey. Catch my drift? Veronica does make a point in their favor however . . . or so they think. Veronica's birthday present to Anne Marie is a hypnotist! They think it's so cool! Well, until they wake up with silly string everywhere, baby chicks in the bathtub, a missing school mascot, no Anne Marie, and Jake's jacket on the scene. Wait, what? And the worst thing of all, no one remembers anything about last night. An epic night just got a whole lot crazier.
