like it was a romantic thing to do and not stalking 101.
This is so patronising and weirdI’ve just noticed she’s back on the iPhone. I’m going to get obsessed with this.
I agree with this, though I still think Jacqueline Wilson is an absolute angel who writes about difficult subjects and flawed characters in a believable wayNot read the full thread yet (still grunka-ing my way through!) - but a 'morally sound children's book' doesn't exist. It's impossible to write! Pollyanna was meant to be morally sound and it's not. The Elsie Dinsmore books were thought by the author to be morally sound and they aren't. Something written to be perfectly PC for now will be sexist, classist, racist etc in 10 years time (just look at HP).
And the problem with those Victorian era books of goody-goody perfect children is that ultimately that's not what children wanted to read. They wanted to read about children like themselves who made mistakes, were sometimes rude or naughty etc etc. I haven't read Walliams books, they may be disappointingly problematic given that they don't have the excuse of time that Enid Blyton or Roald Dahl have. But pretty much every book her kid picks up off the shelf is going to be problematic in some ways. The key is a nuanced discussion about it with your kid.
So she IS a Moon Howler!!Ummm....
July 5th. According to my Old Moore's Almanac (I get it each year because my Granddad did, just because I like to do things that remind me of him), it's a full moon tonight.
The last full moon was June 5th. Which was the BLM meltdown.
One before that, 7th May. Sheds and things. And hair a day or so later.
One before that, 7th April.

Which one do you mean @chocolate choux ? I was v into her as a kidI agree with this, though I still think Jacqueline Wilson is an absolute angel who writes about difficult subjects and flawed characters in a believable way
But I did realise recently that even one of her books does require a nuanced discussion
I’m also aware that SB isn’t her demographic
