Millennial women everywhere rejoiced when Jacqueline Wilson announced a new book earlier this year. Not only is Think Again a novel for adults, but it is also the Tracy Beaker author’s fifth novel in her hit Girls series, 22 years after the last one was published.
Wilson has written more than 100 children’s and young adult novels, but her biggest boom was between 2000 and 2010, when her books were the most borrowed from libraries. For those of us reading Wilson’s books back then, it felt like she was acknowledging our anxieties, soothing but never sugarcoating things. She was funny, too, and opened up our minds to all our differences.
