Jacqueline Wilson Collection - 10 Book Box Set

Product Information

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! Overall her books are good at letting young children experience what can happen to others but I wouldn't worry about the effect it may have on her. I can honestly say I read the books, possibly asked a few questions but was quite happy with the basic answer I got from my mum and never gave it much thought again. It goes on to tell the story of the various care homes she has lived in, how she burgled homes in the night.

Tbh it only takes a watch of Tracy Beaker to realise they aren't all fluffy clouds and rainbows and a lot of it has real quite deep situations in. It means that children who are going through something similar, feel like somebody can understand them.But then I subscribe to the idea that childhood is a safe place to learn about what real life is going to be like, rather than a fantasy kingdom of innocence. Childrens stories have always had dark themes and if you take a subjective look they're not hard to find. Sensitive subjects bought out in the open and all that and it gave my mum a great opening to talk about this kind of thing with me! I was so shocked that it described a girl expecting a baby and being at school and having to make her excuses and eventually delivering the baby in an alleyway and putting the baby in a dustbin.

Because you have a lot more world experience everything might seem a little dark, I can imagine it would for me if I was to re-read them all now. Never known a kid be harmed by reality and if anything it will make her more aware and appreciative of what she has and what other people have to go through. I generally read a lot of children's literature and think it's really important to read books first before reading them with your children.the books to me always felt grown up and I liked that about them, they dealt with issues some friends went through in a 'nice' way. As an aside, I can't think of a single character in a Jaqueline Wilson book that we read who didn't have some sort of equivalent at his school. I honestly can't remember issues like this in the books though, and am unsure about how I feel about it now. One of Jacqueline’s most successful and enduring creations has been the famous Tracy Beaker, who first appeared in 1991 in The Story of Tracy Beaker.
