The Story of Tracy Beaker 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.

    This book is wonderful. It shows the not so perfect life of tracy beaker. The ups and downs she has to face, but in the end everything turns out fine.

    I love this book. Tracy Beaker is very rebellious and her behind story is very interesting. Although she seems tough on the outside, inside she wants to curl up into a little ball and cry (or have hay fever in her words!) I would recommend this to all ages.

    i absoloutley love this book, especially the character whish is very rebellious and really violent but funny and clever too. i love also watching the episodes because it makes the story more interesting if there is more.

    Although this is Wilson’s most famous work, I honestly didn’t enjoy it. The characters were average, the plot lines were below average, all in all, a not great book. I suppose very small children might enjoy it, aged about 3 – 5, but I don’t otherwise understand the hype.

    Do you like watching The Story of Tracy Beaker? Well,why not try the book which is really detailed and has great pictures inside the book. Are you desperate to know what is going to be Tracy’s next chapter in her life? It is about a young girl who is 10 years old and lives in a care home and has never seen her family before.Is Tracy actually going to find a place to live comfortably well…... I think you should read the book if you want to know more.
