Mallory, turning ten, decides to mark the occasion with the greatest sleepover party ever. When her best friend Mary Ann gets involved with the planning, things quickly go from super to super-messy. Mallory's self-absorption can be a little tiresome, but her willingness to accept some blame for the events demonstrates maturity. Humor and happy endings prevail in this sixteenth installment.
