Have you ever been a part of a group so badly that you would do anything you could to hold on to your friends? This is only one of the hard-charging questions readers of Adele Griffin's Overnight will ask themselves.

Written from the perspective of the "Lucky Seven," the powerful and popular clique at Fielding Academy (an all-girls prep school) Overnight describes the consequences of keeping secrets, playing friends off of one another, group rivalries, and power grabs. After Gray Rosenfeld, a member of the Lucky Seven, disappears from a friend's birthday party, the remaining six friends make a mad dash to fill Gray's place at the same time they try to help the police and the girls' parents search for their friend.

Griffin's book has a great intro, and the chapters alternate from the perspective of each of the girls, adding a realism to the story. Readers will enjoy trying to predict what each girl is thinking and what will happen next. The book builds to a great ending that left this reader shouting "What??" 3.5 stars.
