Behind every dysfunctional family, is a story. The author pens a tale of a modern family from the point of view of Violet, a thirteen-year-old girl. Like many of that age, she is trying to fit in, letting go, reluctantly, of babyish things and dealing with an older rebellious brother who takes pleasure in bullying her. Her parents dont seem to get along and home isnt a happy place. She takes solace in creating fairies and writing letters to her favourite author who writes and illustrates booksThe protagonist of Midnight is Violet a naive 13 year old. The book was published in 2003 and thats got something to do with it, I think. It was the time when cellphones werent ubiquitous yet and people still wrote letters to authors instead of stalking them or talking about/to them online.

What a wonderful nostalgia trip this was. I remember being obsessed with Jacqueline Wilson as a kid and this was one of my favourites as I loved fairies. As an adult reading this I've recognized some slightly mature themes which I don't think were too appropriate for the age I read this but thankfully I didn't seem to catch on! A wonderful book though and a fantastic reading experience for any age!
This is my very first book review (surprisingly - as I'm such a keen reader). I was a huge fan of Jacqueline Wilson as a child. I am now 24, and with having a 10 year old sister, I often find myself re-reading her books. 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! I started reading this book in bed, looking forward to unwinding and tiring out my eyes for a good nights kip, however,
