| Daphne's Book | comment |
Daphne's Book is a 1983 children's novel by Mary Downing Hahn.Bookish seventh-grader Jessica balks when her English teacher pairs her up with Daphne, the quietest and most picked-on girl in her class, to create a picture book for a local contest. As they work together, Jessica and Daphne—plus Hope, Daphne's little sister—forge a strong bond, enough to withstand the teasing of the popular kids. But it doesn't take long for Jessica to discover a terrible secret that Daphne is keeping from everyone at school. As Daphne and Hope's home life grows worse and worse, Jessica grapples with the choice of keeping her friend's confidence or telling someone the truth. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Josh convinces Jessica to tell their mother about Daphne's home situation. She does so, but the guilt of breaking Daphne's trust makes her sick for a few days. Social workers track down some distant relations of Daphne and Hope who are willing to take them in and give them a stable life. Unfortunately this means they must move several states away. Daphne reassures Jessica that she's not mad at her, having realized in hindsight that it was the right decision to make. Jessica in turn tells Daphne that she's not a terrible person for being relieved that her grandmother is dead. The girls promise that they will stay in touch and Jessica can't wait to visit her. Also the ending to Jessica and Daphne's picture book: The mice have not found Sir Benjamin, but Princess Heatherfern vows to keep looking. | |

Big Brother Instinct: The only time that Josh is serious is when he learns about what happened at the grocery store, that bullies mocked Daphne and made Jessica cry. When he finds out about Daphne and Hope's home situation, he tells her that she needs to go to their mother because this is too big a problem for kids to keep a secret. In fact, Jessica notes he's never been serious and this convinces her to come clean to their mother. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Daphne's Book / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Subverted. Josh convinces Jessica to tell their mother about Daphne's plight. He says that this is too big a problem to keep a secret because the girls could get hurt or killed with such a terrible guardian. Her mother actually makes the first sensible decision: call social services when Mrs. Woodleigh chases them away with a broom. It turns out Mrs. Woodleigh was dying of pneumonia, meaning that Jessica's mother got help for Daphne and Hope with weeks to spare. | |

Rage-Breaking Point: Daphne survives an entire school year of constant bullying without so much as a shiver. The straw that finally breaks the camel's back is when Jessica hides in a bathroom to avoid Michelle and Tracy seeing them together. | |

Orphanage of Fear | |

Orphanage of Fear: Downplayed: The staff at the orphanage where Daphne and Hope are taken following their grandmother's death are more apathetic than scary, but the place looks plenty grim. All the kids get regular meals, however, and visits with relatives. | |
