Where do baby apes sleep? In apricots!

I’m Elsa, and that’s one of my jokes (I tell LOTS of jokes and I’m going to be a big star one day). I do my best to cheer my family upbut no one seems to laugh much any more. Not since we lost our lovely house and had to move into a bed and breakfast hotel.

Review

“Funny and very moving” — Josie Lawrence * Daily Express * “An unsentimental and truthful book that is even better for a strong sense of mischief” * Independent on Sunday * “The chatty style draws young readers straight into the story, and the constant stream of corny jokes masks, but does not conceal, the deeper issues” * Daily Telegraph * “This is an hilarious and at the same time exceptionally emotional story” * Scribbler *

About the Author

Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945, but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames. She always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first “novel” when she was nine, filling in countless Woolworths exercise books as she grew up. As a teenager she started work for a magazine publishing company and then went on to work as a journalist on Jackie magazine (which she was told was named after her!) before turning to writing novels full-time. One of Jacquelines most successful and enduring creations has been the famous Tracy Beaker, who first appeared in 1991 in The Story of Tracy Beaker. This was also the first of her books to be illustrated by Nick Sharratt. Since then Jacqueline has been on countless awards shortlists and has gone on to win many awards.
