My Friend Michael: An Ordinary Friendship with an Extraordinary Man is a 2011 memoir by Frank Cascio, co-written with Hilary Liftin.[1] It is based on Cascio's long personal relationship with pop singer Michael Jackson, which began in his childhood and continued for more than twenty years.[2][3]

The book offers a close, personal look at Jackson's private world. Cascio writes about spending time with him at his homes, travelling together, and being treated in what he describes as a family-like setting. Much of the memoir focuses on Jackson away from fame and public attention, as seen through Cascio's personal memories.
