Midnight Award-winning author by Jacqueline Wilson (author)

Violet has always loved fantasy and the world of imagination. For her, fairies are almost as real as the everyday, and the games she plays with her hand-sewn fairies mean everything to her. Until now, Violet always had a partner in her games: her adored big brother Will. But now it’s as if an evil changeling has come and snatched Will away. The brother she has now is creepy and dangerous, always ready to torment her and leave her nerves in tatters. But when Violet makes friends with glamorous Jasmine, who seems entranced by her fairy world, can Jasmine show Violet a way out? How can Violet restore the fairytale magic to her life, and get her beloved brother back? Enchanting and sinister by turns, this is a mesmerising story of friendships, fairies, and family secrets.

Jacqueline Wilson

Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945, but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames. She always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first “novel” when she was nine, filling countless Woolworths’ exercise books as she grew up. Since having her daughter, Emma, she has been writing full time.

Her insightful and emotionally challenging books not only stretch reading ability, but give young readers a glimpse into many kinds of lives. Smart girls, strong girls, bad girls, brave girls. Girls keeping their families going, girls trying to get away… Jacqueline Wilson’s written about them all! These powerful stories of plucky girls in difficult circumstances won’t fail to strike a chord. Read more
