Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee

Delia and Josie are best friends in their senior year of high school. Every Friday night they turn into Rayne Ravenscroft and Delilah Darkwood, the hosts of Midnite Matinee, a campy creature feature show on the local cable station TV Six.

Graduation is close, and the choices ahead are pulling the two apart. Josie dreads the end of school. She has to decide whether to leave for a big university and chase a career in mainstream TV. Lawson, a guest performer on the show, makes that decision harder. He is a talented MMA fighter who likes pancakes and fantasy novels, and he likes Josie.

For Delia, scary movies are the last link to her dad, who abandoned the family years ago. She hopes that if the show becomes a hit, he will see it and want to be in her life again. She also hopes Josie will stay with the show rather than leave her behind too.

This is a contemporary young adult novel about friendship and growing up, with a comic streak and real emotional weight. Humor and heartache sit side by side as the girls learn that an uncertain future can be frightening and full of promise at once.
