The story of Lily Rosetti is one that you just can't put down.  I'd recommend it to anyone who would take the time to listen.  Lily's problems start when her little brother, Michael, decides to live with his dad.  Lily knows it's not a good idea, but Michael is so determined to have the perfect life with his dad that no one can stop him.  While baby-sitting her half brother Nate, Lily gets an unexpected phone call.  It's Michael and he needs help.  Will Lily be able to step up to the plate and help Michael?  Will she be able to keep Michael's secret without blowing up on everyone else?  Will she lose faith in people and God forever?    Read A Friend at Midnight  by Caroline B. Cooney to find out.
