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 backyardtent and all. Now Taylor has the problemshe 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"
