Jacky Daydream

Product Information

Wilson's intimate, conversational style combined with a selection of childhood photographs and Nick Sharratt's familiar illustrations, makes this a delightfully satisfying read. Each chapter ends with a passage from one of the author's books, which has been directly influenced by her own childhood. From the very first story she wrote, Meet the Maggots, it was very clear that this little girl had a very vivid imagination. it is like she is telling you the whole thing of stuff like what she did and where she went for holidays and all kinds of things.

Although she relates many cosy stories of life in post-war London, all was not rosy for young Jacky - as an only child she dealt with her parents' unhappy marriage alone. It is only a short book (as I said it is aimed at children) and the text is quite large therefore you could probably get through this in one sitting. JW used to be my first fave authour but now I am still a fan, but I think Terry Pratchett, Enid Blyton, Karen Mc Combie etc.

Today her popular books for children have sold millions of copies and have been translated into more than thirty languages. Whilst I did love this book and learning about Jacqueline Wilson's life, there are a few things that I didn't enjoy so much.

She tells us that when her mum picks her up for the first time she says ” she’s just like i imagined” that makes her very happy. I also was really intresed to see that some of the things in her books she has expirenced to for example her best friend’s mum has cancer just like Jayni’s mum in Lola Rose,also that she used to play with paper dolls when she was a child just like april in dustbin baby. I would rate it 10/10 if you liked auto-biographies and info, but for me I would rate it a positive 5/10.Now she takes a frank and captivating look at her own childhood in this warm and moving autobiography.

Therefore I would definitely say be wary going into this book, it is short and you can probably get through it quite quickly however it may just miss the mark for some of us who are probably a little older than the intended demographic.

I owned this book as a child and I hauled it because when I bought it I didn’t realise it was nonfiction but as an adult I decided to pick it up because I wanted to learn about the life of my favourite childhood author. The thing that really made the book for me though was the photos throughout of her growing up, her family and her friends.

I did find it quite boring really (a word I never thought I would use to describe a Jacqueline Wilson book!For me though this was a little bit slow, I wanted so much more information about her life and was just given little snippets which is great for children but not if you're genuinely interested and want to see what her childhood was like.
