Jacqueline wilson autobiography

Book by Jacqueline Wilson

Jacky Daydream is an autobiographical book about Jacqueline Wilson's childhood, first published in 2007.

The book's title refers to a nickname given to the author when she was at school. The teacher, Mr Branson (who the children nicknamed Brandy Balls) would give all the children nicknames according to their character; initially he rather cruelly dubbed her "Jacky Four-eyes" when she came to school in glasses, subsequently he named her "Jacky Daydream" for staring out of the window during maths, a subject she hated.

The book details her very early life, from babyhood to the summer she was 11, when she is about to start at secondary school. The book is interspersed with many photos of the author at that time in her life. She also tells the reader what inspired her to write certain books, and she ends each chapter with a question that the reader must answer; for instance "Who had a doll named Bluebell and an imaginary Rottweiler?"

Content warning: some sensitive material, such as eating disorders and child abuse, is discussed. 

Last week, the heroine of tween girls all around the world, Jacqueline Wilson, released her first book for adults, Think Again. The books of Jacqueline Wilson fostered a lifelong love of misery lit, transporting me to a world where young girls triumphed over bullies, abusive step-fathers, rundown council estate housing, dead pets, lying adults, predatory teachers, foster homes, a world where absolutely everyone’s parents (if alive) were divorced.

Of course I had Think Again on pre-order from Unity Books. When it finally arrived I ripped through it in a day and was among the first 200 people on Good Reads to post my review (5 stars of course). Wilson knows her fans, and the book
