She has written over 70 best-selling books, and several have even been adapted for TV – most famously The Story of Tracy Beaker. 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. Smart girls, strong girls, bad girls, brave girls. Her insightful and emotionally challenging books not only stretch reading ability, but give young readers a glimpse into many kinds of lives. Since having her daughter, Emma, she has been writing full time. 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. Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945, but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames.
