Midnight

Product Information

She has written over 70 best-selling books, and several have even been adapted for TV – most famously The Story of Tracy Beaker. Violet retreats into fantasies based on the fairy characters created by her favourite author, Caspar Dream.

When she argues with a new friend, she destroys her dolls and runs away, trying to track down the author of the imaginary world she yearns to hide within. 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. I don't know why, but out of all of the Jacqueline Wilson books this one is the one I remember the experience of reading being the most vivid. It could be used as part of childrens creative writing to help them come up with ideas or new plots that would help a character like Violet to have a better life; it gives them a chance to be more imaginative.I still love Violet, I still remember connecting to her so much, she made me feel so much better about being such a book lover – reading books was my escape from the world, and connecting to Violet made that so much more enjoyable. The Illustrated Mum won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Award, the 1999 Children’s Book of the Year at the British Book Awards and was also shortlisted for the 1999 Whitbread Children’s Book Award. Join Daisy, Lily and the rest of the Alphabet Girl gang as they go up against Chloe to have the best sleepover in the world! That is his role and he doesn’t change—or at least, it is not certain the change at the end will last. He is good at maths, history and French - and can sew to some extent, as he repaired Violet’s fairies at the end of the book.

They each have their own intricate past, stories and lives, though we see the world through the eyes of our main character, Violet.Some books you have had for ages but they sit on shelves for eons before they get read and a new book catches your eye and gets instantly picked up (I can almost hear all the old books grumble at the newcomer who made it with the least sweat. Aimed at older readers, this novel deals with adult themes of birth, sexuality, teen pregnancy, gang-culture, abuse and post-natal depression, but all in Wilson's usual credible, accessible style.

She is very shy and meek, as well as being underdeveloped for her age, leading to her being labelled as an ‘SC’ (Sad Cow) by some of the boys in her year. 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.At school, she is labelled as an ‘SB’ (Sexy Bunny) by her peers, though Violet thinks she’s a Super-super-super SB.
