Rayne and Delilah's Midnite Matinee by Jeff Zentner
This is the third book by this author, and like the first two, I was enraptured. I know it doesn't seem that way because it took me two weeks to read, but that is because my oldest child was home for ten days, and it was more important to me to spend time with him than it was to read.
Josie, aka Rayne, just knows her future involves her being on tv. It's what she wants most, so on Friday nights, she and her best friend Delia, aka Delilah, host a creature feature show on public access tv. Delia just wants to find her father, who left when she was seven. The horror movies they show on their program are from the collection her father left.
Josie and Delia have the opportunity to go to ShiverCon in Orlando, and while there, they plan to meet Jack Divine, who can help them make their show even bigger. What ensues is hilarious. Along the way, Josie meets a boy and both girls learn about who they are.
There are some zingers in this book. I had entirely too much fun reading this, and my students couldn't get over me laughing aloud while reading it to myself. I consider this a must-read for 2020.
