**Bestselling author Suzanne Selfors brings heart and humor to Wish
Upon a Sleepover, a middle-grade novel about a group of misfits who
find true friendship where they least expect it.
**
Five misfits. One magical wish.
Leilani dreams of being friends with the most popular girls in her
class--the Haileys--who are always throwing awesome themed sleepovers.
She devises a master plan: throw her own sleepover of the century and
invite them!
When Tutu, her grandmother, accidentally mails Leilani's invitations to
the DO NOT INVITE list, the best sleepover in the history of the world
becomes the worst. Instead of the Haileys, the only guests are the
three kids Leilani definitely did not want to show up: the neighbor
who never speaks, the girl who draws mean pictures of her, and her
farting older cousin. At least her best friend August will be there.
Leilani and her guests decide to make Tutu's recipe for Sleepover Soup,
which requires each of them to collect one ingredient that has
significant meaning in their lives. They embark on a scavenger hunt that
reveals unexpected surprises. What Leilani finds is not what she wanted,
but it might just be even better.
