Jacqueline Wilson – Latest Updates and Podcast Highlights
If you grew up reading "The Story of Tracy Beaker" or "Best Friends" you know Jacqueline Wilson’s books have a special place on many shelves. She’s not just a writer; she’s a voice for kids who feel different, scared or hopeful. This page pulls together everything fresh about her – new releases, interviews, and the brand‑new podcast that lets you hear her thoughts straight from the source.
Why Jacqueline Wilson Still Matters
Jacqueline’s stories are famous for tackling real issues – bullying, adoption, and family trouble – in a way that feels honest and kind. Parents love her because the books start conversations that are otherwise hard to have. Kids trust her characters because they see themselves reflected in the pages. That mix of empathy and storytelling keeps her titles selling year after year, and new readers keep discovering her work through schools and libraries.
Beyond the stories, Jacqueline has championed literacy campaigns and spoken out about the importance of mental health support for children. Her involvement in charities and school programs shows she walks the talk, which adds to the buzz whenever she appears in the media. That reputation makes any new project, like a podcast, instantly interesting to a wide audience.
New Podcast: “Jacqueline Wilson Raised Us”
In August 2025, Jacqueline launched a four‑part podcast called Jacqueline Wilson Raised Us. Produced with Cosmopolitan UK and Transworld, the series dives into topics such as childhood memories, parenting challenges, grief, and emotional literacy. Each episode feels like a chat over tea – relaxed, honest, and full of anecdotes from her own life and career.
The first episode even features YouTuber Louise Pentland, who talks about how Jacqueline’s books helped her through tough teen years. Listeners get a behind‑the‑scenes look at how Jacqueline crafts her stories, why she chooses certain themes, and what she hopes kids take away from her books. Because it’s on all major platforms, you can plug in while you’re driving, cooking, or just chilling.
If you’re a fan, the podcast is a goldmine of insights you won’t find in interviews or press releases. If you’re new to her work, the conversations give a quick taste of why her voice resonates with so many. The series runs weekly and wraps up after four episodes, so it’s an easy, bite‑size commitment.
