An Evening with Jacqueline Wilson

We are incredibly honoured to welcome one of Britain's bestselling and beloved authors, Jacqueline Wilson, this September to celebrate the publication of her first novel for adults. For many of us, Jacqueline's books were an instrumental part of childhood and have played a huge part in thousands of people's love for books and reading.

This is a talk and Q&A only. There will be no book signing afterwards, but signed copies of Think Again will be available to purchase at the event!

Jacqueline is perhaps one of the best-known children's authors of recent times and has written over 100 books, including the Tracy Beaker series, Hetty Feather, My Sister Jodie, Dustbin Baby and the Girls series ...

But, whatever happened to beloved Girls series characters Ellie, Magda and Nadine?

They're all grown up now - but if they think life's done surprising them, they'd better think again...

Being an adult isn't quite what Ellie Allard dreamed it would be when she was fourteen years old. Though she's got her beautiful daughter Lottie, her trusty cat Stella and life-long best friends in Magda and Nadine, her love life is non-existent and she feels like she's been living on auto-pilot, just grateful to be able to afford the rent on her poky little flat.

But this year on her birthday, it seems it's time to for all that to change - whether Ellie wants it to or not. As she navigates new, exciting and often choppy waters, she's about to discover that life will never stop surprising you - if only you let it.

Bringing the same warmth and humour to an adult novel as she does to her work for younger readers, Jacqueline Wilson finally answers the questions her fans have been asking her for years in this uplifting, life-affirming book about friendship, family, and finding fulfilment in unexpected places.
