Frankie with her four best friends Fliss, Kenny, Lyndz and Rosie are part of the sleepover club, where each member holds sleepovers. The five-members strong club deals with every-day problems. The main antagonists are called the M&Ms, made up of three members (Matthew, Marco and Michael) who always try to interfere with the girls' lives (or whose lives are interfered with by the SOC). The club is also targeted by two posh girls Sara and Alana who always try to join the club or disband it.
Three years after Series one, Frankie (now 16) is forced to move away from her home town after her father receives a job promotion, and she takes with her the Sleepover Club book. Due to complications, she stays with her cousin for a week. There she discovers her cousin Charlie struggling to balance her social life with her four best friends. She entrusts Charlie with a new sleepover club book as Charlie, Tayla, Maddy, Jess and Brooke form a sleepover club. The main antagonists are called "The Blockheads" consisting of Jason, Simon and Declan who with the aid of Krystal and Caitlin try to meddle with the clubs affairs.
