Jacky Daydream

Product Information

As the fourth Children's Laureate (2005-2007) she promoted the importance of sharing books, and reading aloud together. Enjoyable story except for the ending of each chapter which was a shameless plug for Jacqueline Wilson's other books. It is only a short book (as I said it is aimed at children) and the text is quite large therefore you could probably get through this in one sitting. Jacqueline is one of the nation’s favourite authors, and her books are loved and cherished by young readers not only in the UK but all over the world.

It is not included in promotions available to our main range products, as stated in our terms of service. It was so sweet to pull this off my shelf and read one of my favourite children’s author’s autobiography. As a teenager she started work for a magazine publishing company and then went on to work as a journalist on Jackie magazine (which she was told was named after her! She explores her early years with the same warmth and lightness of touch that imbues her novels and covers such difficult issues as her parents' extra-marital affairs with delicacy.

Today her popular books for children have sold millions of copies and have been translated into more than thirty languages.

Jacqueline Wilson takes a look back at her own childhood in this captivating story of friendships, loneliness, books, toys, parents and much more.

Jacqueline's books include The Story of Tracy Beaker, which has become a hugely successful BBC TV series; Girls in Love, which together with its two sequels was filmed for ITV television; and Double Act, which she adapted for Channel 4 and which won the Royal TV Society's Best Children's Fiction Award.
