Jacky Daydream

Product Information

As an adult reader I am of course longing for a follow up. What happened next? Because the story of Jacqueline Wilson of course doesn't end when she finishes primary school and knows she will be an author some day. I would really like to know about the adult years of this great author, but that is of course not what this book is about. It is a whole other story and it could of course not be written in a child friendly way, because children want to read about children, not adults. And in JW's case her childhood really is the most relevant part of her life, since that's where she gets her inspiration for her books. hey jaqueline wilson i love all your books and i watched all the tracy beaker epeisodes and they're great my favourite books are the lottie project and double act i am quite like garnet from double act and my sister well say she behaves in the same as charlotte does in the lottie project i am doing a history project to in history and in this great novel of yours i can now get on with my victorian project without a hassle because the lottie project has some wonderful ideas hope to meet you someday, enjoy reading my comment Did she enjoy being a policeman's wife? "No, I hated it. We lived in police flats for a while, and I didn't like being part of that community. I felt out of my element." She sighs. "My husband was very sporty and I hate sport, and he'd never read a book in his life and, for me, reading is everything. I suppose you could say I repeated my parents' marriage. I suppose you could say I was lonely, and here was this chap who made a bit of a fuss of me." Jacqueline Wilson, who held the two-year position of Children's Laureate from 2005-2007, writes mainly about young girls, struggling with their own emotions and with the world (and adults) around them.

Lots of Jacqueline Wilson's characters are well-known and well-loved by thousands of readers: Hetty Feather, Ruby and Garnet, Pearl and Jodie, Elsa, Lily and, of course, the brilliant Tracy Beaker! But how much do you know about Jacqueline herself?Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. She is now one of Britain’s bestselling and most beloved children’s authors. She has written over 100 books and is the creator of characters such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather. More than forty million copies of her books have been sold. Daydreams and Diaries: The Story of Jacqueline Wilson is at the V&A Museum of Childhood from 5 April to 2 November ( museumofchildhood.org.uk ) She has stated that from an early age she was determined to deal with "real" issues that affect children, and not to write Enid Blyton-style stories, although she greatly admired them.

The true Jacqueline Wilson story. I Have only read one of her other books, but I think I can still say that this book is very true to her fictional style. JW really can write for children. She knows what they want and need and how to present it. Easy and entertraining. 100% child friendly.

I think tracy is really good becouse i like watching it and reading it at the momment i am reading the dare game by Jaquline wilson.... JW talks to children, but she doesn't talk down to them. She wants to involve them and includes her authorship in the book by relating every chapter to an episode in some of her fictional books. She shows how there is a connection between her real life and her fictional books. She lets the children in on her writing process. All this in a 100% child friendly way.

Even thou I'm not a child anymore (ie a bit too old for this book) I really enjoyed the book. JW just writed in a fun way. All thou at some points i as an adult reader of course really felt that I was not part of the audience she is actaully writing for. But I really feel it workr perfectly for elementary school children. JW has really got emphaty, symphaty for her readers.

Retailers:

my favourite character is probably Dixie from Diamond girls. She handles things in the nicest manner. In this book we follow the life of Jacqueline, her house, family, holidays, school etc. It is a non fiction story about her life and what her childhood was like. Her childhood wasn't that unordinary, but that's probably the point. Her goal is to write about ordinary things. But for children of today her childhood in the 50s might actually seem a bit exotic. But still JW makes sure that any 2000s kid can relate to what she is writing. The book details her very early life, from babyhood to the summer she was 11, when she is about to start at secondary school. The book is interspersed with many photos of the author at that time in her life. She also tells the reader what inspired her to write certain books, and she ends each chapter with a question that the reader must answer; for instance "Who had a doll named Bluebell and an imaginary Rottweiler?" Then she will give the answer.

"It was very moral so far as I remember," she says. "It suggested waiting. They took Cathy and Claire [the magazine's agony aunts] very seriously. A qualified team had to answer those, and we were never allowed to see the letters."
