Daydreams and Diaries, the Story of Jacqueline Wilson

Seven Stories in Newcastle has turned its gallery over to all things ‘Jacqueline Wilson’! For the first time ever many of Jacqueline’s personal belongings will be on display - her notebooks and typescripts, along with her childhood toys, school reports and diaries!

You can explore a recreation of Jacqueline’s childhood bedroom or make notes for your first novel on a chaise longue just like hers! You can step onto a carpet of Jacqueline Wilson covers and then into the gallery, which is filled with very special photographs from Jacqueline's childhood, film clips, Nick Sharratt artwork and an enormous wall of letters you've sent to Jacqueline!

Daydreams and Diaries is open to the public until 13^th September 2012 at Seven Stories, Newcastle. For details, please visit the Seven Stories website
