Children tend to be quite interested in the past and the workhouse scenes might also be helpful with aspects of the current curriculum as well. I hope I’m converting children into saying that history is fun! As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children's Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children's Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame. In regards to her modern-day life, I loved seeing how strong and lovely her friendship with Alex was, as most stories would have the two best friends falling out over one having gotten a part in a play that the other was hoping to get, with that usual competition and rivalry getting in the way, but they still remained best friends, supporting and happy for each other throughout!
Edie finds herself in Victorian London. She feels the same, but everything around her is completely different to what she knows. Soon, she realises she's living the life of another Edie Trimmer - and is in danger of being sent to a real workhouse! Primary Times talks to Dame Jacqueline Wilson, one of Britain’s bestselling and most beloved children’s authors, about the release of her new book, ‘ The Other Edie Trimmer’.
Pre-order:
Not only does reading to your child before bedtime create a stronger bond between you both but it can hugely help your child out, after all, that is what everyone wants to do, do everything possible to help their children. Q7) Can we expect any other stories about Edie in future, or are you working on any new ideas that we should keep an eye out for?
But when she starts writing, something strange happens. Edie finds herself in Victorian London. She feels the same, but everything around her is completely different to what she knows. I've been a fan of Jacqueline Wilson since I was a child, and I was overjoyed to be able to obtain a signed copy during a local author talk promoting Edie Trimmer - a book that has soared to my number one favourite spot among her many titles. I seemed to be seeing double. I saw two Edies instead of one - but they weren't the same.' Edie is fascinated by Victorian times, and she's just desperate to be cast in the lead role of her drama club production of Oliver.When she's given a real Victorian notebook she's determined to write the best story ever, all about a girl in a workhouse.

You are in need of a short story that can entertain your child for 15 minutes and help them ease off to sleep. But where do you get them from?We couldn’t have a top five list of children’s books and not mention Roald Dahl now, could we? The Twitshas been a family favourite for many years and it is easy to see why. Mr. and Mrs. Twit are always playing mean practical jokes on each other and being cruel to their monkey Muggle-Wump. With the help of local birds, Muggle-Wump and family plan their escape and revenge on the Twits. Q2) Who are your favourite characters in the book and which character do you think will be a firm reader favourite? Also incredibly illustrated by Quentin Blake, you and your children will love reading the twisting and melodic lines and looking at the legendary and funny illustrations.
