a coincidence because jacqueline wilson is our amazing offer that we're looking at this week
yes she's a legend and we've got even more of your comments about her like purple hamster
reader who says i really like the illustrated mum i think it's really cool full of drama and i love
it i also really like the story of tracy speaker it's one of my favorite books of all time well
of course it is jack wilson is honestly a legend she's written so many books and here is kate who's
been in touch with her review on diamond i'm danny from definitely wilson's book has the same name
ellen jane pops is the fifth born child in her family a great disappointment to her parents
who wanted a strong healthy son her father ends up selling her for only five guineas
however she transforms into diamond the acrobatic child wonder and star of the circus when she's
maltreated there she dreams of escaping read on to find out what happened hey that's how you sell
a story you're incredible and now let's go on to the main thing though let's hear from the author
herself jacqueline wilson answering your questions dramatic dove asked me hi jacqueline which of your
characters would you like to meet in real life and she says p.s i read bigger girls every night
i'd like to meet tracy beaker both when she's young and now as the grown-up mum
but i'm not sure i'd actually want to share my house with her because she's a bit full-on um i
think i'd love to meet biscuits who crocks up in several of my books who's a lovely cheery boy and
he makes excellent cakes and if i could go back in time i'd really like to be petty feather fact i
don't think i'd share my house with chase speaker either stick with us we'll have jackie wilson
answering more of your questions it is challenge time yes if you think you're a great author the
next jacqueline wilson if you will then i've got a great guest with an amazing opportunity for you
hi everyone it's danny harmer here aka tracy beaker now do you enjoy writing stories do
you like coming up with new ideas characters and settings do you ever think um one day i
could be an author and write my own books then i have the perfect challenge for you i want you
to write your own short story now lockdown was an unusual time for a lot of us but what was it like
for tracy beaker well that's where you come in in 500 words or less i want you to tell us the
story of tracy beaver in lockdown what did tracy get up to maybe she learnt a new skill or found
hidden treasure in the garden or got a new pen pal with a major secret now head over to the book club
page on the cbc website and upload your story i can't wait to read them daddy how good is she
what a great idea right what would tracy b could be getting up to in the lockdown i reckon
she'd have a lot of plans so get right in i cannot wait to see what you guys going to come up with
and here's some more inspiration here's jacqueline wilson herself answering more of your fantastic
questions happy trampolining chocolate waffle wonderful name asks what is it like
working with nick sharrod and does the suggestions he make impacts the way you imagine a character
well i've been so lucky having nick and me working together for 30 years i think it is
now i write the books first then i sent him the stories and he always manages to somehow rather
make the character look perfect down on paper they really are some of the most iconic illustrations
in book history now stick with us we will be having a jack and wilson inspired book slam hey
have you ever wondered what happened favorite book is my favorite jacqueline wilson book is candy
floss i feel like a lot of people would probably expect me to say heaty feather and trust me it is
definitely one of my favorites but candy floss was actually one of the first jacqueline wilson books
i ever read when i was younger and also the first time i met jacqueline when she came down to the
set of petty feather that was the first book that she ever signed for me so that was really exciting
i love the characters in it the storyline is so so good so it's definitely one of my favorites
but i think we can all agree that all of jackie wilson's books are amazing facts they are all
amazing heads if ever loves candy floss makes sense now i think as we're celebrating jacqueline
wilson on book club this week we should have a jackman wilson inspired bookstore debate so
this time we're asking you would you rather go on a sleepover in calendar hall with hetty fever and
all her friends or go on an adventure activity holiday with tim from cliffhanger it's time to
book slam this one says i would go on an activity adventure with tim i read that book at school with
my year group it was one amazing book go and read cliffhanger i love it but wait goku is saying i've
got an adventure activity holiday with tim and i would hope to meet biscuits purplebutterfly17

favorite books and uni horses saying i would rather have a sleepover in calendar hall with
petty feathered all her friends as i love hefty feather and sleepovers and making new friends ah

finish it without another video of jack wilson answering more of your questions here it is
bookwormgirl24 says hi jacqueline if you could beat any children's book character in the world
apart from your own who would it be hmm that's an interesting question
uh i wonder if you've read a book called little women you might have seen a film
of little women um there's a girl in that one of four sisters called jo and she is a tomboy
she loves writing she's full of fun she gets into all sorts of scrapes
but she always actually comes out tops i think i'd rather like to be joe and lead her sort of life
