Books in Order: A Deep Dive into the Literary World of Jacqueline Wilson

Esteemed as one of the most adored authors of children’s novels, Jacqueline Wilson is the creative genius behind the renowned Tracy Beaker series. Born in the charming city of Bath, Somerset, England, Wilson spent most of her formative years in Kingston-on-Thames, London.

A Blossoming Literary Talent

Even as a young girl, Wilson harboured a deep-seated aspiration to become a writer. In fact, she penned her first “novel” at the tender age of nine. After the birth of her daughter, Emma, Jacqueline made the leap into full-time authorship.

Stepping Stones in her Career

As a teenager, Jacqueline found herself working for a magazine publishing company. This stint eventually led her to write for the eponymous Jackie magazine. Despite popular belief, this publication was not named in her honour. Making her mark in the industry, Wilson soon transitioned to become a full-time novelist.

An Award-Winning Novelist

In 2002, her remarkable contributions to literacy in schools were recognised when Wilson was awarded the OBE. She held the prestigious title of Children’s Laureate from 2005 to 2007. Rising above and beyond, Wilson was appointed as Dame Jacqueline Wilson in 2008.
