Slumber Party Pals is a book series that appears in Hard Luck. It revolves around two girls, one of them named Lindsey, who are best friends.
History[]
Greg claims that the main reason he started reading the Slumber Party Pals is because he had forgotten to bring a book one day for silent reading, and these were the only available books. Despite the series obviously geared towards girls, Greg finds them to be quite captivating. According to Greg, the plot of each book follows a similar pattern: the two main characters fight over a trivial matter but ultimately learn the value of friendship and patch things up. Greg thinks this dynamic is specific to girls and not boys, who tend to move on quickly from accidents or fights.
There are at least 100 volumes in the series and Greg has read nearly all of them. He says that while the first thirty books were pretty good, he feels that the author's creativity started to wane after that.[1]
