The Sleepover Club is a series of children's books by authors Rose Impey,
Narinder Dhami, Lorna Read , Fiona Cummings, Louis Catt, Sue Mongredien (aka
Lucy Diamond), Angie Bates, Ginny Deals, Harriet Castor and Jana Novotny Hunter. It has also been
adapted into a children's television programme. While the books were set in Cuddington,
Leicester,
England, the television show was set in the fictional
Australian beachside suburb of Crescent Bay. The books revolve around five young girls who are part of a club in which they sleepover at each other's houses at least once a week. The television series do not portray the same stories as the books with the possible exception of the first episode which loosely resembled the story where the girls try and set up their 'Brown Owl' with their school care-taker.
The girls' names are Francesca "Frankie" Thomas, Rosie Cartwright, Felicity "Fliss" Sidebotham (Later "Proudlove"), Lyndsey "Lyndz" Collins and Laura "Kenny" McKenzie. Their rivals are two, snobbish girls in their class named Emma Hughes (nicknamed "The Queen") and Emily Berryman (nicknamed "The Goblin"). This pair are also referred to as the Gruesome Twosome or "The M&Ms." There are 54 books:
The Sleepover Club at Frankie’s
The Sleepover Club at Lyndsey’s
The Sleepover Club at Felicity’s
The Sleepover Club at Rosie’s
