Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.
As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were we talk about one particular book and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on the Jacqueline Wilson book Dustbin Baby.
April Showers (so called because of her birth date, April 1st, and her tendency to burst into tears at the drop of a hat) was unceremoniously dumped in a rubbish bin when she was only a few hours old. Her young life has passed by in a blur of ever-changing foster homes but as she enters her teens she decides it is time to find out the truth about her real family.
Dustbin Baby Goodreads page
Dustbin Baby was published on October 1st 2002 by publishers Corgi Children. I came across the book once I'd finished one of the Tracy Beaker books and happened to be looking for more of Wilson's books to read. Its one of Wilson's better books and highly recommend to the pre-teens and younger teens, I give the book an 8/10.
Born
Jacqueline Aitken in Bath, Somerset on December 17th
1945. Wilson grew up with parents Harry (A civil servant) and Biddy
(A house maid) loving to read and having a great imagination, this
gave her the nickname Jacky Daydream at nine years old, which
eventually became the title of her autobiography detailing her
primary school years. Wilson's first book debuted in 1969 and as she
went on writing many of her books went onto be nominated and win
several awards including the annual British book awards children's
book of the year, the Whitbread awards shortlist and both the
Smarties prize and the guardian children's fiction prize. In her
teens, Wilson met her husband Millar Wilson who was a printer. They
got married when she was nineteen and two years later they welcomed
daughter Emma. They divorced in 2004 and by April 2020 Wilson
announced publicly she was gay and had been living with her Partner
Trish for eighteen years. In 2008 Wilson was appointed Dame commander
of the Order of the British Empire a DBE, in 2012 she was elected as
a honorary fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and in 2017
she received the special award at the BAFTA children's awards.
