While some of my other books have sold more widely, Midnight seems to be the most passionately loved. There's something about its secret, rather dark fairy world that appeals very strongly.
"Dame Jacqueline Wilson", Order of the British Empire/DBE, FRSL is an English writer known for her vast and diverse work in children's literature. Her novels commonly deal with such challenging themes as adoption, divorce and mental illness. Addressing such issues has made her controversial because her readers are young. From 2005 to 2007 she was British Children's Laureate. For her lifetime contribution as a children's writer, Wilson is U.K. nominee for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2014.
Wilson is the author of many book series. Her best known work may be the Tracy Beaker series, inaugurated in 1991 by The Story of Tracy Beaker. There have been three sequels and four CBBC television adaptations: The Story of Tracy Beaker (TV series)/The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy Beaker Returns, The Dumping Ground and The Tracy Beaker Survival Files.
Several other television adaptations of Wilson's work have been released.

I particularly like the fact that there is no set list of books. Whatever books children choose counts towards their tally for rewards. It's all about reading for pleasure.
I feel the city let us down by not informing us. I don't think the tower should be put over here. It should be in a commercial area.
Winning the Guardian prize is a wonderful reward for any writer. It is such a distinguished award, ... All authors want to know what other authors think of their books and they also like to know what children like, too.
