The One and Only Sparkella Makes a Plan

Leading actor, producer, director and New York Times-bestselling author Channing Tatum's Sparkella picture book series is a charming ode to self-esteem and the love between a father and daughter.

Sparkella is excited for her first sleepover with her new friend, Tam.

Everything they need for the awesomest tea party ever? Check!

A collection of games to delight and inspire? Check!

She can't wait for Tam to arrive in a few hours, but first she needs one more very important thing for their sleepover: A castle fit for two royal highnesses. But no matter what she tries, Sparkella just can't seem to get the castle to work. The leopard stones for the wall are too hard to find! The cardboard breaks when she tries to climb to the second floor! The nails are boring and so NOT glitter-tastic.

Sparkella is frustrated, and worried her castle will never be finished in time. But with a little help from her dad, she soon learns the importance of patience, and figuring out creative new ways to do things when your original plans fall through.
