About this deal

There were only a few characters in 'Midnight' and I think it would be highly unfair to choose one as they are so complex. Just family and friend life in all it's complexities, at a level that younger readers will understand. 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. I liked this book because sibling abuse isn't a common issue in stories; Midnight is the only book I've seen about it and the characters were kind of old but somehow new at the same time.

As an adult, it was frightening to read, and that's what kept me hooked, but for kids, it's not one of Jacqueline's best unfortunately. 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. Jacqueline Wilson (Author) Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. Anyone can be an abuser, and it doesn't matter how you're related to them or how dependent you may be on them, you don't owe them anything. I started reading this book in bed, looking forward to unwinding and tiring out my eyes for a good nights kip, however, within pages I was rigid, on edge and terrified for the safety of main character, Violet.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.

Read more about the condition Very Good: A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition. This is a wonderful, wonderful book, absolutely enchanting, and a must-read for anyone who's ever been weird, lonely, and/or fascinated by the beautiful butterflies pinned to the corkboard of life.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"'.
