* This is a staple plot event of a lot of YoungAdult and MiddleGradeLiterature, since this is the age where children--especially girls--are allowed to spend the night over friends's houses overnight (starting at approximately around ages 7-10). Many girl-focused series books of the era will have at least one sleepover plot, including those mentioned in the book ''Paperback Crush''.

* The late-1980s ''Literature/SleepoverFriends'' series is based on the background of three fifth grade girls--Lauren, Stephanie, and Kate--holding sleepovers every Friday night together, with new girl Patti invited to join in the first book.

Boys occasionally throw them as well, and they're full of tropes for tween boys. For younger children, they can even be mixed-gender gatherings. Boys just call them "sleepovers" (or even better, just "spending the night") instead of Slumber Party or Pajama Party, though - they usually consider these terms too associated to girls.
