    About this ebook

    It's Kara's turn to host the Sleepover Squad's latest party, and she couldn't be more excited! Until her annoying brothers get wind of the event, and promise they're going to play all kinds of practical jokes on the Squad. That is, unless Kara agrees to be their slave. Oh no! Poor Kara is running herself ragged trying to keep up with her rotten brothers' demands, without letting her friends find out. She's worried her pals won't want to come to her house--or, worse, that they'll want to disband the Squad!

    But when the rest of the Squad finds out what's going on, they tell Kara to quit being the boys' slave and relax. After all, no matter what those creeps can do to them, these girls know something the boys don't: getting mad isn't the same thing as getting even....

      Kara was sitting on a bench outside the ice-cream parlor. Two of her best friends, Emily McDougal and Jo Sanchez, were sitting beside her. Their other best friend, Taylor Kent, was hopping back and forth over a crack in the sidewalk. Taylor wasn’t very good at sitting still.

      We heard you the first nine times you said that, Kara, Taylor teased. She hopped over the sidewalk crack again. Then she took a big bite from her maple-walnut cone.
