About this deal
On the negative side, I found it difficult to figure out what grade Floss was in and thus how old she is. 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. Floss has some important decisions to make, and when she has to choose between her mum and her dad, she’s torn. She has written over 70 best-selling books, and several have even been adapted for TV – most famously The Story of Tracy Beaker.
Sama-sama tidak mau berpisah, sama-sama saling sayang, tapi menurut Floss, ibunya sudah punya orang-orang yang menyayanginya, sementara ayahnya bakalan sendirian. She chooses to stay in England with her dad, while her mum moves to Australia with her new partner Steve and their young son for six months.
As the fourth Children's Laureate (2005-2007) she promoted the importance of sharing books, and reading aloud together. Flora ' Floss' Barnes' mother and father split up when she was little and she wishes they'd get back together because she doesn't like her step-father, Steve, and her little half-brother Tiger. She announces to Floss on her birthday that the whole family is moving to Australia for Steve's new job and is heartbroken when Floss remains with Charlie. Of course, they speak English in England, but they have some slang words that we don’t have in Australia.
Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945, and spent her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey, where she still lives today.But that’s the thing—kids need to read her books because she knows relatable and the true struggle of most preteen girls.
