After a trip to visit her teenage cousin, Daisy, in Camomile Cove, Poppy is desperate to be as cool as she thinks Daisy is. In order to fulfill her ambition Poppy decides that the first thing she needs to help her become a bit cooler is money. Along with her best friend, Honey, Poppy dreams up some brilliant money-making schemes. The second thing Poppy thinks she needs is more freedom. She is fed up with being treated like a baby. Find out whether Poppy and Honey's money-making ideas are a success and more importantly, will they be allowed to sing backing vocals in Daisy's band and join Daisy and all her cool school friends for the end of term BBQ and bike ride at Camomile Cove? Join Poppy on her journey to become the Pocket Money Princess!

Poppy couldn't be more excited about going to her first sleepover. But how will she feel, far from the familiar feelings and routines of home?
