Ask Tracy Beaker and Friends Award-winning author by Jacqueline Wilson (author)

Author/Illustrator

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.

She has written over 70 best-selling books, and several have even been adapted for TV – most famously The Story of Tracy Beaker. Her signing sessions attract huge crowds of fans and last for hours! Over 25 million copies of her books have now been sold in the UK alone.

In 2007 Jacky Daydream was published, an inspirational true story of how a shy schoolgirl became a superstar author. This was followed by My Secret Diary, a captivating account of Jacky’s teenage years.

In June 2002 Jacqueline was given an OBE for services to literacy in schools, and she was the Children’s Laureate from 2005-2007. She also became a Dame in December 2007.

    I haven’t actually read this book yet, but it looks exiting, and I am really looking forward to reading it, and even if people do think its bad, and warn others not to read it, I know it will be okay for me, and different people because every one on this site is a bit of a bookworm-that’s for sure!

    I think this book is a little bit rubbish, to be honest. It’s not actually a book. All you do is go to a page where is says ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and you write down a problem. That is all.

    A diary packed with magical instant advice from all your favourite characters, led by livewire Tracy and her words of wisdom! Truly a diary with a difference, this book is part blank – your space to jot in your own wisdom and say all the things you want to say. But when you’re stumped or in need of inspiration, that’s when Tracy and her friends chip in with handy hints and ideas. Is there a question you’re dying to know the answer to? Open the book at random to see what Tracy, Hetty, Beauty and their friends say. Maybe it’s time to go on a journey, or cuddle a favourite pet – or to write an entry in your journal! Packed with funky artwork, it’s the place for solving all your dilemmas and problems in!
