Jo is so excited! Her parents have agreed to let her host the Sleepover Squad to celebrate her win in the spelling bee! Jo loves to be organized, so she's busy making plenty of lists -- like what kind of food she'll serve her friends and what games they'll play. She's even picked a special theme! But when the Squad starts acting strangely, Jo gets worried. It seems like her friends are keeping secrets from her.
Jo tries not to let their behavior hurt her feelings -- after all, it's probably nothing. But she can't help but wonder: What if the girls don't want to come to her sleepover anymore? Or worse, what if they don't want to be friends with her at all?

The Spring Spelling Bee
Jo Sanchez took a deep breath. Her palms felt damp and warm, so she wiped them on her pants. She wondered if the other kids on the stage of the Oak Tree Elementary School auditorium were getting nervous too.
"Min Choi, you're next," Ms. Paolini, the fifth-grade English teacher, called out.
Ms. Paolini was running the Spring Spelling Bee. She was standing at one end of the stage, reading out the words for the students to spell.
Jo watched fourth grader Min Choi step to the microphone. Ms. Paolini smiled at Min.
"Min, your word is 'satellite,'" the teacher said.
Min slowly spelled out the word. But Jo didn't pay attention. Instead, she peered down the row of chairs on either side of her.

All of the others were fourth or fifth graders.
Next Jo looked out into the audience. It was hard to see anything out there since the spotlights were shining straight at the stage. That left the rest of the auditorium in shadow.
