The Interview - Jacqueline Wilson - Children's author
Download Jacqueline Wilson - Children's author
Over the past ten years Jacqueline Wilson has been the most borrowed author from British libraries.
She's sold 30 million of her books just in the UK - and written nearly a hundred of them over the years - girls love them.

And often featuring drink or drugs.
