Best-Known Books
The Story of Tracy Beaker was published in 1991 and launched Jacqueline Wilson into the stratosphere. It’s told from Tracy’s point of view, who’s been placed in the residential care home “The Dumping Ground” due to her mother’s neglect. She uses her imagination to deal with her unhappiness due to her lot in life. There have been several sequels to the book, and they were adapted into the popular CBBC series Tracy Beaker and its spinoffs.
Dustbin Baby follows April on her fourteenth birthday as she runs through the events of her life and seeks out people from her past. She was found behind a pizza restaurant in the bin and had a tumultuous childhood cycling through foster homes, residential care, and a school for problem girls. It was adapted into a BBC film starring Dakota Blue Richards in 2008.
The Illustrated Mum is about Dolphin, her half-sister Star, and their bipolar alcoholic mum Marigold. Dolphin loves Marigold, but Star is embarrassed by her. After Star’s father comes back onto the scene, their family life becomes increasingly complicated. Dolphin tries to find her old father amid Marigold’s mental breakdown and Star’s desertion to her father.
