Jacky Daydream

Product Information

Today her popular books for children have sold millions of copies and have been translated into more than thirty languages. She is still an avid collector of both books and dolls and she also still enjoys reading and writing. 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. I also loved the way it was an autobigoraphy but written for children, so ti wasn’t a bit tiresome and boring to read, but exciting and colourful, and most certainly enjoyable. As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children’s Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children’s Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame.

I never read this book when I was younger so it was a refreshing and nice and easy book to listen to while I got on with things.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, I remember loving Jacqueline Wilson and so I thought reading about her life from an adult's perspective would be amazing.

The book reveals that she failed the 11-plus the first time she sat the exams, as she had a terrible cold.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. 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!

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.

Nick Sharratt has created illustrations for over two hundred and fifty books during his illustrious career. For example, the guess which of these characters had some relation to the chapter, I just mentioned. It was an okay book because you get to know loads of facts about Jacqueline Wilson (I’m a fan of hers), but it kind of starts to get a bit boring. He has won numerous awards for his picture books, including the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the 2001 Children's Book Award. She tells us that when her mum picks her up for the first time she says ” she’s just like i imagined” that makes her very happy.

I felt sorry for her when her Dad, Harry got into these terrible rants, and when Biddy, her Mom was forever telling her to pull her stomach in. With photographs and new illustrations by Nick Sharratt, this book will delight all of Jacky’s fans — and be a treat for new readers too.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. I thought it was a very interesting book because even though there wasn’t a story plot, you got to see what it was like to be Jacqueline Wilson when she was younger and what it was like living with her family and growing up. I loved this book it shows all about Jacqueline's life and I absolutely loved it I will sometimes read Jacqueline's books for hours on end because I just can't put it down! 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. While taking readers on a journey through her childhood, Jacqueline Wilson has produced another hit among children.
