About this listen

 Jacqueline Wilson Raised Us is the podcast for anyone who stayed up way past bedtime reading Double Act under the covers, sprinted home after school to catch The Story of Tracy Beaker, and traded dog-eared copies of The Girls series like they were gold in the playground. Basically, if Jacqueline Wilson was your childhood fairy godmother, then you're in the right place. Jacqueline Wilson Raised Us is a collaboration between Penguin Books and Cosmopolitan UK.

I loved this podcast. I hope they release more episodes. I started listening because of the nostalgia of reading and loving Jacqueline Wilson's books. I continued listening because of the important, interesting and deep conversations between Jacqueline and the guests. I highly recommend this.
