Bookroo's summary
Iris eagerly anticipates her first sleepover at her friend Walter's house, filled with plans for puppet shows and late-night adventures. But as the night unfolds, Iris finds herself missing the comforting sounds of Grampa's songs and the warmth of her family's goodnight rituals. As homesickness sets in, she questions if this sleepover was a good idea. Will Iris find a way to enjoy her night away, or will her longing for home bring her adventure to an early end? Discover how Iris navigates her first night away in this heartwarming tale.
From the publisher
Iris cannot wait to have her first sleepover at her best friend Walter’s house. They will put on a puppet show. They will ride Walter’s horse Rain in their pyjamas. They will stay up very, very late. But on the big night, when it is time for bed after all the fun, Iris lies awake missing Grampa’s songs, her parents’ kisses, and Baby Rose sleeping nearby. Maybe, just maybe, this sleepover wasn’t such a good idea after all. The fourth book in this critically acclaimed and award-winning series will reassure any child who is anxious about spending a night away from home.
