Midnight is a 2003 children's novel by English author Jacqueline Wilson. The book is about a girl called Violet and her brother, Will. Violet is a dreamy girl and is always away in her own world, filled with fairies designed by her favourite author, Casper Dream. Last Christmas, they found out that Will was adopted when Will was rude to their grandmother and she said something about bad blood.

Adoption Angst: Violet's brother Will just found out he's adopted, which causes distress for both of them. Will already didn't get along with their parents, especially their father, so he feels even more alienated from the family, while Violet fears Will won't view her as his sister anymore. It doesn't help that Will found out when his grandmother blurted it out during an argument, suggesting Will shouldn't be so 'ungrateful'. Will starts to come to terms with it after his parents open up to him about his adoption; they adopted him as an infant after his birth mother died of a drug overdose and their own son died of SIDS.

Anger Born of Worry: Violet's father acts very domineering and bullying towards her mother but it becomes pretty clear that he in fact cares about her a lot when the parents talk about the original baby Will's death. This is hinted at during a conversation with Violet in the car, during which he nearly mentions their first son's death, when he expresses concern for her pain over Will's distancing himself from them after learning he is adopted.
