Daisy and Lily return in the sparkling third title in the bestselling Sleepovers series!
The summer holidays have finally arrived, and Daisy is bored. Daisy is glad she won’t have to see her worst enemy Chloe for a while but she longs for a proper holiday at the seaside, building sandcastles, eating lots of icecream and maybe even spotting a mermaid in the sea. Daisy’s sister, Lily, wants to come too but, she uses a wheelchair which can make trips to the seaside tricky. Especially with all that sand!
Daisy’s summer gets a bit more exciting when she starts looking after her neighbours’ dog, Scruff. Daisy has always wanted a dog of her own to walk and cuddle! She knows Scruff would love a trip to the seaside just as much as her.
Will Daisy, Lily and Scruff get their ice-cream-filled dream holiday and maybe even have a Seaside Sleepover?
