Sleepovers Books in Order

The Sleepovers books are all about friendship, the kind that’s built one evening at a time, with snacks, whispered secrets, and the awkward moment when you realise everyone’s home life is different.

Daisy is at the center of the series. She’s trying to find her feet at school, and she ends up in a small group of friends who decide to do regular sleepovers, taking turns at each other’s houses. Each visit is its own mini-adventure, because every family has its own rules, routines, and surprises.

Sleepovers show you what people hide in daylight.

What starts out as a fun plan becomes a way for the girls to really see each other. Some homes are loud, some are lonely, some are full of step-parents and siblings, and some have worries the girls don’t know how to name yet. Daisy’s own family life matters too, especially her relationship with her sister, Lily.

Later books like The Best Sleepover in the World and The Seaside Sleepover return to the same friendship circle, with bigger feelings and new situations to navigate. The tone stays warm and funny, but the books keep making room for real tenderness.

If you want Jacqueline Wilson in her “friendship first” mode, this series delivers. Read them in order to watch the group settle into its rhythms, and to see how the girls grow up in small, believable steps.
