Cookie Award-winning author by Jacqueline Wilson (author) (UK edition)

Author/Illustrator

Jacqueline Wilson

Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945, but spent most of her childhood in Kingston-on-Thames. She always wanted to be a writer and wrote her first “novel” when she was nine, filling countless Woolworths’ exercise books as she grew up. Since having her daughter, Emma, she has been writing full time.

Her insightful and emotionally challenging books not only stretch reading ability, but give young readers a glimpse into many kinds of lives. Smart girls, strong girls, bad girls, brave girls. Girls keeping their families going, girls trying to get away… Jacqueline Wilson’s written about them all! These powerful stories of plucky girls in difficult circumstances won’t fail to strike a chord.

She has written over 70 best-selling books, and several have even been adapted for TV – most famously The Story of Tracy Beaker. Her signing sessions attract huge crowds of fans and last for hours! Over 25 million copies of her books have now been sold in the UK alone.

In 2007 Jacky Daydream was published, an inspirational true story of how a shy schoolgirl became a superstar author. This was followed by My Secret Diary, a captivating account of Jacky’s teenage years.

In June 2002 Jacqueline was given an OBE for services to literacy in schools, and she was the Children’s Laureate from 2005-2007. She also became a Dame in December 2007.

   Cookie

   I saw this book in school and it was a diffrent heading at the back. And i got the book called Sleepover and it is a diffrent version but this website is really good because you can get books cheaper here and you can find more books her than in my school.

    i have read this a week or 2 ago and i recommended it to all my friends and some parts really caught me at the heart like i cried about birthday and screamed at the book at the dad he sucks if he was real i would hope he would die in HELL. Skye was sooooo mean but at least her mother really cared i hated the big monster bunny he was gross i liked Rhona a lot and i hope there might be like a cookie part 2 thats all

    This is the first book I bought from the scholastic book fair and I really really liked it. I read it 5 times.It is about a girl called Beauty who wishes she had a better name. Her father is a rich man with a big house and her mum is very kind but only knows how to cook toast.Beauty`s dad is a harsh man who shouts at her mum and her. He tells Beauty about her weight, ask her why she cant be like the other girls at her school like sky.Sky and her friends are really mean to Beauty and don’t like her one bit. They think shes fat and ugly.But she does make a friend with a girl called rhoanda

24. PrincessLeyla
    on 5 March 2013

    I THINK THAT THIS BOOK IS SO AMAZING ALTHOUGH THE FATHER OF BEAUTY IS HORRIBLE AND SLAPPED HER WIFE WHICH IS VERY MEAN. I CAN RECOMEND THIS BOKK TO ANYONE WHO IS 7 YEARS AND ABOVE.

    Cookie by Jacqueline Wilson, is by far one of my favourite books. It’s a little old for me now, but I can read it over and over, and never get bored. The plot lines are thrilling, and yet not too over the top, and the weay it’s written makes you want to be best friends with beauty, and come in and help her save the day. A magnifincent read, for all ages in my opinion. :)

    Cookie is such an un-expected read. I found it so different to Jacqueline’s other books. It has more of an adventurous plot line, and a more complicated story, yet it is still fantastic and brilliantly written. This is one of Wilson’s best books.

    I absolotley loved the book Cookie because it was about a girl who was being teased on and she became popular. Her name is Beauty Cookson and her mum suppots her in evrything she does wheras her dad is very mean and vilent and her mum and Beauty go away to Rabbit Cove. They live there happily sellig cookies becuse Beauty’s new nickname is Cookie

    I really loved this book and it shows not everyone is as kind as most people assume. This is the book that has everything, suspense and words that tug at your heartstrings to make you laugh and cry. And that`s the talent that makes Jaqueline Wilson my fave author.

    Beauty Cookson is no beauty! She’s ordinary, shy and nothing like those confident posh girls at her school. They’ve even come up with a new name for her…Ugly! What’s worse is that Beauty and her mum live in fear of Dad’s rages. Any little thing could set him off- good mood or not. But Beauty and her mum discover a new hobby: baking cookies. This is an excellent book! I was so upset about the way Beauty’s dad talked to her mum – no respect! – and the fact that they couldn’t even enjoy living in a beautiful house because of his stupid house rules.

    The characters are warm, funny, unusual and different. I love the way all the characters develop and grow (Mum and Beauty) and some that never learn (Dad).

    All in all this is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Beauty may be no beauty; but she’s kind, different, intelligent and caring. A must read! I recommend it to everyone

    I loved reading Cookie and I think Jaqueline Wilson is a great author. Her books always relate to real life and you can really imagine a girl scared of her brutal dad and escaping in a children’s tv programme. It makes me quite sad when the poor baby rabbit dies! Jaqueline has the ability to make you feel involved in the story. Cookie is an emotional story and when Beauty is sad, I feel sad, when she is happy, I am happy! I highly recommend this book.
