It deals with a relationship issue, very possible abuse, definite verbal abuse towards wife and kids, in my personal opinion. Jacqueline Wilson (Author) Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. As I read I felt uneasy about certain things and I can hazard a guess as to how my teenage self would have reacted. Jasmine me ha caído muy bien al principio, pero a mi gusto la ha cagado de forma monumental en pocas horas, así que mentalmente haré ver que todo eso no ha pasado y simplemente recordaré y dibujaré las escenas preciosas que ha vivido con Vio.

Will is also a bit like a mini-Loki, if Loki were a teenager, and human, and his father was a policeman, instead of a God. Violet retreats further into her own fantasy world, built around the fairy characters created by her favourite author, Casper Dream. This can happen when a child is emotionally abused but as this is a children’s book, I feel maybe it is showing the realism of emotional abuse too much. She is the glamorous daughter of actors Miranda Cape and Jonathan Day, though currently living with her father in a rented flat in Kingtown. They become best friends and have great times together until Jasmine comes over one day and they play Truth or Dare with Will.I think Will needed a lesson that could make it a more solid impression that he would behave better in the future. Fantasy and complex reality intertwine like a dewy, silky spiderweb in a mist, and not in a way that Violet expects or likes. It was a little bit of a shock reading it back though, especially with the truth behind Will (no spoilers, but if you have read it, if I say the attic, you’ll get what I mean).

Today her popular books for children have sold millions of copies and have been translated into more than thirty languages. She is fascinated with the fairies from Casper Dream’s books and has exceptional talent in sewing and art. Biography: Jacqueline Wilson (Author) Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. Violet is sure that someone who can create the fairy tales she loves so much would be able to conjure up a solution to her problems.

Seen all over the country and in the West End, this resourceful dramatisation of Jacqueline Wilson's Midnight is suitable for young actors as well as young audiences.

There were only a few characters in 'Midnight' and I think it would be highly unfair to choose one as they are so complex. To be honest, if it was intended for adults and panned out the disturbing way that I imagined, it would probably be a pretty decent book (I'd read it). World Book Day was last week (7th March) and it got me thinking about what I was like as a reader when I was younger and in school. It feels so realistic - the simple hurts that mean so much are so beautifully weaved in, complete with layers of complexity.Her insightful and emotionally challenging books not only stretch reading ability, but give young readers a glimpse into many kinds of lives. Enchanting and sinister by turns, this is a mesmerising story of friendships, fairies, and family secrets. Ok, I have done something I have never done in a book review before, I have given 2 versions of synopsis. Her children's books tend to look cute, even today, thanks to Nick Sharratt's illustrations, and are almost always female-led, told from a girl's perspective of family, friends, school, and adults in general. Violet loves Will and tries desperately hard to show him that even though he's adopted, he's still part of the family.

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.

The book was on my list of books (and author) to explore though I am well past the age the book is intended for. The arrival of Jasmine, a new girl at school who immediately befriends Violet, seemed like it might change Violet's life for the better and allow her to break free of Will's spell. I have fallen in love with the work of Jacqueline Wilson all over again, however when I came to read 'Midnight' as a 24 year old, I was totally freaked out!

Jacqueline Wilson tackles tough themes but I can’t help thinking children aren’t the intended audience for Midnight and it could be too kiddish for young adults.
