Books for Fans of Jacqueline Wilson in KS3

Jacqueline Wilson is a multi-award-winning author whose hundreds of books hold huge appeal and often feature children who are facing challenging home lives. Her many fans may be at a bit of a loss as to what to try next when they move into KS3.

These warm-hearted novels, mainly tackling friendship and family problems, are a great next step, with more complex narratives and depth than in a Jacqueline Wilson novel but with that magic mix of poignant real-life challenges, humour and unforgettable characters. They have all been read and checked by our secondary school library expert as being suitable for readers in KS3.
