It's Emily's turn to host the next sleepover, and she's having a campout! Her dad's going to grill hot dogs, and they'll tell ghost stories and fall asleep to the sounds of crickets chirping. Fun!

But Taylor isn't as excited as the others. Sure, she loves parties and is always up for new adventures...but she also has a secret that she's kind of embarrassed about. She's afraid of bugs!

Editorial Reviews

Gr 2-4 In the first book, Taylor is having a sleepover to celebrate the end of second grade, and Emily knows that her parents will say that she is too young to go. She has a major meltdown, and her friends suggest that she apologize for her behavior and try to act more mature so her parents will change their minds. Of course, they do. Of course, the sleepover is fantastic. In the second title, Emily hosts the sleepover in her backyard-tent and all. Now Taylor has the problem-she is afraid of bugs. Will she overcome her fear, share with her friends, and have a great time at the party? You bet she will. These easy chapter books have no character or plot development, the author uses far too many adjectives, the girls' behavior is not always age-appropriate.-Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City
