When two of the Sleepover Friends develop crushes on seventh-grade boys, it puts a strain on their friendship and sidetracks their plans for a school costume party.
Lauren, Patti, Kate, and Stephanie are planning all sorts of fun things to do with the exchange students from Walden Elementary, but things don't turn out exactly as anticipated.
The Sleepover Friends become writers for the new school newspaper, but Stephanie is annoyed when Karla keeps "scooping" her listings of upcoming parties for the "Social Notes" column and decides to find out just how Karla is doing it.
