This 13-year-old British author's guide to hosting a successful sleepover pairs creative food ideas with activity suggestions, amid photographs of the author and friends, as well as cartoons of girls sampling food and telling jokes. Recipes include “Pineapple and strawberry ice slushies” and “Pile-it-in-Pitta,” as well as ideas like “Tuna pasta mini pots” in the case of “bare cupboard” situations. With equal emphasis on food and fun and game suggestions both familiar (like Truth or Dare) and novel, this book should help get the party started. Ages 8–11. (July)
