Jacqueline Wilson is an English writer best known for writing children’s literature. She was a 2014 nominee for the international Hans Christian Andersen Award and in 2017 she received the Special Award at the BAFTA Children’s Awards. Her work is considered important to many as she writes for a child audience while covering topics such as adoption, divorce and mental illness.
Wilson has written numerous children’s series, but is perhaps best known for the Tracy Beaker that started in 1991 with The Story of Tracy Beaker.

The Story of Tracy Beaker is the first book in the series following the title character. Tracy is in foster care and has been there as long as she can remember. She doesn’t really know what her mother does, but she dreams that one day her mother will show up to reclaim her. Until then, she is on her own and does what she can to take care of herself. One day, a journalist shows up to write a story about the orphanage that Tracy helps with. It ends up being much more though as Tracy and the journalist strike up a special friendship.
Another popular book by Wilson is Dustbin Baby. It follows a girl named April who was abandoned in a rubbish bin fourteen years ago. She’s happily settled with a foster mother now, but there is a part of her who has always wanted to know who her real mother is and why she literally threw her away. She wishes to find out so she can finally shake the nickname of “Dustbin Baby” that has stuck with her.
