Published: 5/30/2025

Celebrated author Jacqueline Wilson discusses her reluctance to return to character Tracy Beaker in adult fiction due to concerns about portraying her sex life. Wilson, known for tackling dark themes in children's books, has explored adult versions of her characters in new works like "Picture Imperfect" and "Think Again." Despite her anxiety while writing, Wilson finds solace in her routine of writing in bed in her pajamas, a habit she shares with fellow author Michael Morpurgo.
