History Literature / TheSleepoverClub

Not to be mistaken for the 1990s American children's book series, ''Literature/SleepoverFriends''.

Set in Cuddington, near Leicester, the story centers around five ten (and eventually eleven) year old girls; [[TheLeader Francesca "Frankie" Thomas]], [[OneOfTheBoys Laura "Kenny" McKenzie]], [[LovableAlphaBitch Felicity "Fliss" Sidebotham]], [[AllGirlsLikePonies Lyndsey "Lyndz" Collins]], and [[TheSixthRanger Rosie Cartwright]]. They consider themselves the best of friends and form a club entitled "The Sleepover Club," involving their sleeping around one another's houses on a regular basis.

* ExtrudedBookProduct: The original book series ran only seven years (1997-2003) [[http://web.archive.org/web/20040902135005/http://www.sleepoverclub.com/ yet produced no less than 54 titles.]] Of these, series creator Rose Impey only penned the first five, with the rest of the series being ghostwritten.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Kenny and Frankie. Borders on a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship at times, especially since in the one book where the two have an argument they treat it very much as a lovers' quarrel and Frankie seems ''very'' jealous over Kenny's crush on her ski instructor.

%%* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Molly, Kenny's older sister.
%%* BreakingTheFourthWall: Frequent, especially in earlier books.

%%* CoolBigSis: Emma to Molly and Kenny; Tiffany to Rosie.
%%* FiveManBand
%%** TheLeader: Frankie
%%** TheLancer: Fliss
%%** TheSmartGuy[=/=][[TheSixthRanger The Fifth Ranger]]: Rosie
%%** TheBigGuy: Kenny

%%* {{Flanderization}}: Kenny's competitivity, Fliss' vanity and cowardice and Lyndz's horse obsession all suffer this to an extent in the books post Rose Impey's original five.

%%* SiblingYinYang: Kenny and Molly.

* RunningGag: Lyndz's hiccups tend to crop up at least once in each book. This stops being so funny after a while.

* OneSteveLimit: A notable exception with Kenny's oldest sister and an enemy of the main five girls, who are both called Emma. [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome This may be why the former isn't really seen or mentioned after the first few books.]]

* RunningGag: Lyndz's hiccups tend to crop up at least once in each book. [[OverlyLongGag This stops being so funny after a while.]]
* SiblingYinYang: Kenny and Molly.

* KickTheDog: A core trait of the M&Ms. While they are archenemies of the club and are expected to say and do mean things to them, they also pick on children younger than them in some books, and even insulted Rosie's brother for having cerebral palsy (pushing a BeserkButton for Rosie).

* RaceLift: In the TV series, Kenny and Lyndz swap ethnicities.

* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Molly, Kenny's older sister, fits this pretty well.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Kenny and Frankie throughout the course of the series.
* RunningGag: Lyndz's hiccups tend to crop up at least once in each book.
** In fact, it borders on becoming an OverlyLongGag, but since the books seem to be aimed mainly at primary school girls, the lack of complexity in some of the jokes [[ChildrenAreInnocent probably isn't a bad thing.]]
