Three for Tea: Tasty Tales for You and Me

by Jacqueline Wilson, Michael Morpurgo, Anne Fine

In "Countdown," Hugo wants a gerbil, but his dad says it's cruel to keep something in a cage. To prove him wrong, Hugo sets out to stay in a room by himself all day. But can he stand it, or will he crack? In "My Brother Bernadette," Bernard and Sara are off to the summer project. Only problem is, Bernard just wants to do the clothes design course. Big Dan starts calling him Bernardette, but he doesn't reckon on Bernard's skill with a needle and thread. Lastly, in "Snakes and Ladders," at school she's called "Weedy Wendy"—but Wendy isn't afraid of Slinky, Grandad's snake. When she takes Slinky to school and he wriggles out of her school bag, Wendy will brave anything to rescue him.

About the author

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 in countless Woolworths’ exercise books as she grew up. As a teenager she started work for a magazine publishing company and then went on to work as a journalist on Jackie magazine (which she was told was named after her!) before turning to writing novels full-time.

One of Jacqueline’s most successful and enduring creations has been the famous Tracy Beaker, who first appeared in 1991 in The Story of Tracy Beaker. This was also the first of her books to be illustrated by Nick Sharratt. Since then Jacqueline has been on countless awards shortlists and has gone on to win many awards. The Illustrated Mum won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Award, the 1999 Children’s Book of the Year at the British Book Awards and was also shortlisted for the 1999 Whitbread Children’s Book Award.

Double Act won the prestigious Smarties Medal and the Children’s Book Award as well as being highly commended for the Carnegie Medal. The Story of Tracy Beaker won the 2002 Blue Peter People’s Choice Award.

Jacqueline is one of the nation’s favourite authors, and her books are loved and cherished by young readers not only in the UK but all over the world. She has sold millions of books and in the UK alone the total now stands at over 35 million!

In 2002 Jacqueline was awarded the OBE for services to literacy in schools and from 2005 to 2007 she was the Children’s Laureate. In 2008 she became Dame Jacqueline Wilson.
