She struggles to make friends and to escape the control of her big brother until new school-girl, Jasmine, enrols at the school. After Will forces her to play a game of 'Blind Man Buff' which she hates, she still played it - because when Will found out he was adopted spent all his time in his room and rarely even talked, let alone play with Violet, she was desperate to rebuild their relationship - and was attacked by bats.

It takes everything we can relate to, hardships of fitting in, family problems and adds magic to every moment.

And as a further test to see if they've held up, I'll be reading a few of her more recent books as an adult. When the timer goes off, she comes down and finds her best friend and her brother kissing in his room. I love looking at old stuff I wrote as a kid, now I want to go to my mums house and dig out my diaries and things! Jacqueline has won the prestigious Smarties Prize and the Children's Book Award for DOUBLE ACT, which was also highly commended for the Carnegie Medal. Now, spending many weeks in bed I decided to re-read some of Jacqueline's books and Midnight is the one I thought of as first.

Jacqueline Wilson has written literally dozens of books, and if you aren't already a fan you very soon will be. After smashing up her fairies (scratching Will with her Crow Fairy in the process), Violet runs away to see Casper Dream's old house, to find some magic in her sad world. They become best friends and have great times together until Jasmine comes over one day and they play Truth or Dare with Will. In the attic, Violet finds out that she used to have another brother named Will but he died so her parents try to replace him with this Will.

Jacqueline Wilson gives us a slight taste of each, a delicious whiff that keeps readers attentive and held captive throughout the whole ride. But Violet can't keep Jasmine away from her house forever and when Will and Jasmine get together and apparently exclude Violet--she can think of only one person who can help her. Violet can't help thinking that someone who creates such beautiful fairy stories would be able to conjure up a solution to her problems. Al padre le odio por cosas parecidas, de Will puedo esperarme la mierda porque tiene 15 años y esta en una edad en que todo es asqueroso, pero ese padre se merece una colleja con una mesa, y lo digo más por su comportamiento con su esposa que por otra cosa. I thought it was clever how subtly the author showed bitter realities of the world which won’t affect younger readers but older readers will see it for what it is.

At school, she is labelled as an ‘SB’ (Sexy Bunny) by her peers, though Violet thinks she’s a Super-super-super SB. Will has discovered a shocking secret about his past that is making his behaviour even more strange and dangerous. Will gives Violet a note to tell her to look out her window at midnight and she sees her fairies hanging from the garden tree, repaired by Will.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

My favourite quote from 'Midnight' is "Mum tried to play teddies with me, a trite game of "'this is Big Growl and this is Little Growl"'. Will cares about her but he tends to scare her with some of the games they play, for instance, telling Violet to go up in the dark loft even though Violet's afraid that there may be bats.So, to conclude, it was quite a depressing book, and I don’t really agree with some of the messages it sends, but I do like the fact that it encourages you to be unique and follow your dreams. I also think that this is why she thinks he can fix everything, because she thinks fixing her problems is about as likely as meeting an extremely famous, reclusive author. But I didn't recognise the underlying theme of violence and manipulation from both Will and her father.
