And, she has agreed to share some of her favourites with us, and her book, The Worst Thing about my Sister, a brilliant tale of the bond of sisterhood, is published this month and is one of our Book of the Months too!
Jacqueline Wilson's Guest Editor Choices
LAVENDER'S BLUE, a book of nursery rhymes compiled by Kathleen Lines: I think every child should have a special book of nursery rhymes - It's a book to treasure forever. Click here for more…
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Maurice Sendak The text is very minimal but perfect - and the illustrations are glorious. This isn't a scary book in the slightest… Click here for more…
BALLET SHOES by Noel Streatfeild This was one of my childhood favourites - and although it's dated in many ways I think many girls will still love this story. Click here for more…

THE HUNGER GAMES - a trilogy by Suzanne Collins I don't usually go for blockbuster dystopian stories - but this trilogy is imaginatively conceived and well written and a genuine page-turner… Click here for more…
