The Sleepover Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sleepover Club is a series of children’s books by author Rose Impey, and a children’s television programme based on the series. Whereas the book is set in England, the television show is set in the Australian beachside suburb of Crescent Bay (a fictional place). The programme revolves around five young girls who are part of a club in which they sleepover at each others' houses at least once a week.

Along with the everyday issues that plague preteen girls such as school projects, makeovers and boys the members of the club also have to worry about their arch-rivals the M&Ms, Matthew, Michael and Marco, intent on spoiling the girls' fun. The series is based on the books by Rose Impey. In the books the girls are 10 years old and live in Cuddington, Leicester, and the M&Ms are two girls named Emma Hughes and Emily Berryman.

The television show is produced by Wark Clements Burberry Production, in association with Rialto Films, with the assistance of the Pacific Film and Television Commission for ITV Network United Kingdom, Nickelodeon United Kingdom and Nine Network Australia. It is distributed internationally by Southern Star Sales. Two of the kids are now in Neighbours.
