Midnight

I heard a clock chime far away. It was striking midnight. I looked out into the night and made my wish.

Violet has got plenty to wish for: she wishes her brother, Will, would be kinder to her. She wishes she could hide the terrible secret that she has discovered about him. She wishes she has a real friend to confide in. And, most of all, she wishes she could meet her favourite author, Casper Dream. Violet can’t help thinking that someone who creates such beautiful fairy stories would be able to conjure up a solution to her problems.
