What the author says about the film...

Jacqueline Wilson:"It was great fun making the films with the children and they asked me some very interesting questions. I can’t go and give talks to all the schools that invite me nowadays but hopefully these films are the next best thing. You can find out how I write my books – and see what my house is like too! I hope you have a very happy 2007."
