Jacqueline Wilson Collection - 10 Book Box Set

Product Information

The books revolve around a childrens care home and the stories of the children in that home. They do have dark stories, no one ends up in a care home without accumulating a dark story. None of this is hidden. That said, none of it is graphic! It's not going to mentally scar your child. It's a good series and I've yet to meet a kid that has taken anything negative from it, in fact it's taught a great many children that you shouldn't judge anothers circumstances because bad things could have happened. It's an introduction to the world that your child is very shortly going to be living in. Try not to worry too much about it, but just answer any questions she might have as basically as possible to avoid her getting upset. I'm 23 now, and read her books when I was younger. Probably from around the age of 8 like your daughter. Jacqueline is one of the nation’s favourite authors, and her books are loved and cherished by young readers not only in the UK but all over the world. She has sold millions of books and in the UK alone the total now stands at over 35 million!

Overall her books are good at letting young children experience what can happen to others but I wouldn't worry about the effect it may have on her. I can honestly say I read the books, possibly asked a few questions but was quite happy with the basic answer I got from my mum and never gave it much thought again. The girls in love trilogy are definitely for a slightly older audience so if you do buy anymore, don't buy these until she's around 13/14.

Diaries & Calendars

I can honestly say that I never thought much about what I was reading. dustbin baby was one I never got round to reading but I can imagine that your daughter won't take what she's reading in the same way as you are. Because you have a lot more world experience everything might seem a little dark, I can imagine it would for me if I was to re-read them all now. But as a child, you don't notice it.
