Merry Christmas! Hello, it’s Rosie here of the Sleepover Club – and I’m just about to hang up my stocking as it’s Christmas Eve. Excellent!!

I just lurrrrrrve Christmas, don’t you? It’s my absolute favourite time of the year. Summer is great because there’s no school and you can stay out late at night, but December has got to be THE most exciting month of the year. You’re just waiting and waiting for the 25>th, and everyone’s buying secret presents for each other, and we do lots of cool stuff at school to celebrate. Sometimes there’s even snow, which is awesome!

Now, you know me – the most down-to-earth person you’ll ever meet. But even I think there’s something just a teeny bit magical about Christmas. Do you know what I mean? It just feels like the one time in the year where ANYTHING could happen, when your wishes really might come true!

I was talking to the others about Christmas wishes the other day, and we were all saying what we’d want for Christmas, if we were each granted one wish. If you’ve never met the other four in the Sleepover Club, I thought it would be a cool way to introduce them, so here goes.

Frankie didn’t have to think twice about her wish. “I wish I could go to Mars!” she shouted straight away. Frankie’s nuts about space and sci-fi stuff, you see. We used to call her Spaceman for a while because she went completely nerdy about the whole thing – reading loads of books about outer space, building a model rocket launch in her bedroom, borrowing all the Star Trek films from the video shop… She even wrote to NASA in America asking if she could go on the next space mission! Yep, she’s pretty hooked, all right!

Mind you, if any one of us five was ever going to be something amazing like a rocket scientist or astronaut, it would definitely be Frankie. She’s really brainy, and she’s also got this knack of coming up with totally cool ideas and plans for us to do. I can honestly say I’ve never met anyone like her in my life! As my mum says, “That girl’s an original!”

Lyndz next. Well, the first wish she came up with was, “I’d love a horse!” as she’s completely and utterly crazy about animals. She goes riding at a stables not far from Cuddington, where we all live, but has always wanted her own horse, ever since she was tiny. But then, as soon as she’d said that, she wanted to make another wish. “I wish all the animals in the world were happy, and none of them would suffer or be frightened ever again!”

If you hadn’t guessed, Lyndz is a teeny bit soppy! But I’m glad about that, because if she wasn’t, I might never have joined the Sleepover Club. You see, it was kind-hearted Lyndz who took pity on me when I’d just joined Cuddington Primary School and didn’t know a soul. She asked me to come along to a sleepover at Frankie’s one night and that’s how I met the others. So I’ve got a lot to thank her for!

Lyndz is one of the nicest, kindest people you’ll ever meet, who’d do anything for anyone. Sometimes I wish I could be more like her, as I’m a bit sarcastic and impatient at times. You know when you just can’t help saying something horrible and you want to bite your tongue off straight after you say it? I do that ALL the time – but Lyndz NEVER says anything mean. Still, I’m not saying she’s a goody-goody or anything.
