Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Jacqueline Wilson's magical talent for writing novels for children of all ages that can brighten, sadden and enlighten all at the same time is legendary. Midnight is a shining example of that gift and is an unforgettable story about friendship, adoration and sibling worship. Wilson's subjects are always close at heart, her characters lovably flawed, but her endings are reassuringly uplifting.

It is the arrival of the intoxicatingly popular Jasmine, the daughter of a famous actor, at Violet's school that has impacted most on her life of late. Forever in the spell of her controlling and mesmerising older brother Will, Violet needs something to change for her. Will has discovered a shocking secret about his past that is making his behaviour even more strange and dangerous. His dreaded games of Truth or Dare often leave Violet's nerves in tatters. Will is distant, but Jasmine seems genuinely interested in her and her love of fairies. They even both like Casper Dream--the author of several popular fairy novels.

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... so she sets off by herself to find her favourite author.

Wilson's characters are no doubt agonisingly created, but seem effortlessly real and engaging--no wonder they've been adored by over 10-million readers since she first began writing for taunted teens and younger readers. Midnight is perhaps a slightly more subtle novel than is usual, tackling lots of different, overlapping themes at once and even touching on her own life--as demonstrated by the influence of the writer in the story, Casper Dream. This is another winning read. (Recommended for ages 10 and over.) --John McLay



Review

"* 'A brilliant young writer of wit and subtlety' THE TIMES * 'Hugely popular with seven to ten year olds: she should be prescribed for all cases of reading reluctance' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY * 'Has a rare gift for writing lightly and amusingly about emotional issues' BOOKSELLER

5.0 out of 5 stars Midnight, 5 Nov 2003
By Caroline Dunlop (Houston, Renfrewshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I usually find it hard to find books that I read and like. I have tried classics but often put them down after only reading a chapter or two, that was why I was thrilled when I discovered Jacqueline Wilson's Midnight.
Midnight is about a lonely girl called Violet. She is inspired by her favourite author, Casper Dream who writes about faires. Violet is his number one fan and writes him a letter every night but never sends them. She is over the moon when the new girl, Jasmine takes a shine to her and decides to be her only friend apart from her mysterious, adopted brother Will. Violet thinks that Jasmine is a wonderful, pretty girl,Which she is but everything changes when Jasmine meets Will.
Like all Jacqueline Wilson's books I have read, Midnight covers lots of issues such as friendship, love, bullying and loyalty. I couldn't put Midnight down and because of this it only took me four nights to read (which is a record for me!) but it is one of those books which you can read again and again and never get sick of it. Out of every single book I have ever read in my life Midnight is definently one of the best. Obviously a must read!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, 13 Sep 2005
By Ellie Brice (Puerto Banus, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Midnight (Paperback)
This is a great book. I loved reading it. I loved the words and the way it was written. I could read it over and over again and I would never get bored of it. In it there's a girl called Violet, who has hardly any friends, apart from two girls. They are only her friends because they fancy her older brother called Will. Then a new girl called Jasmine comes to school. They become best friends and have great times together until Jasmine comes over one day and they play Truth or Dare with Will. Jasmine and Will dare Violet to go and sit in the loft for ten minutes. When the timer goes off, she comes down and finds her best friend and her brother kissing in his room.
Terribly upset, she runs away to find someone to help her and make her wishes come true.

4.0 out of 5 stars When..., 13 Jan 2008
By Mehajabeen Farid "Mej_da_reviewer" (Coventry) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Midnight (Paperback)
Will and Violet are left home and Will plays a game were he take her into the attic of the house next door and it has bats! Violet doesn't talk to him for ages. To make it up, Will helps her make a crow fairy for her collection of Casper Dream's fairies from his books. At school, Violet has no friends, except two girls whom she doesn't like, much as small as her until Jasmine comes and they become best friends. Violet goes to Jasmines house leaving her parents worried sick. Jasmine likes Violets fairies a lot and Violet makes Jasmine the jasmine fairy for her to keep. At the end, Jasmine comes round so Will can help her with her maths homework and they play the game that she played with Will except this time she goes into their attic. She finds an album pf her real baby brother called William. Soon, she leaves the attic and finds Jasmine and Will in Will's room talking about HER! They said that it was very babyish of her to play with fairies and she overheard them. Violet went into her own room and went out of control; she ripped all the fairies and ran away. She went to meet Casper Dream and she did! It was a dream came true! Casper Dream wrote a book about their strange meeting and Violet goes back home. She and Jasmine become best friends again and they still are!
