April knows she was found in a dustbin fourteen years ago as a new-born baby and her life has never been easy. 

Video

Moved from place to place, she has little sense of who she really is. Now April is fairly happily settled with her foster mother, Marion. But she's desperate to recall what happened in the intervening years, and to see if she can find out where she really came from in the first place.

In 2008 Dustbin Baby was made into a BBC film starring Dakota Blue Richards (who also starred as Lyra in The Golden Compass). It was shown on BBC1 at Christmas 2008 and Jacqueline herself loved it!

"Jacqueline Wilson at her compassionate best" Guardian

"This is a book that will resonate with many teenage girls" Daily Telegraph

This is just a fab book, full of emotion and a happy ending. First I watched the film, then after that I could not resist reading the book and trust me, they are both fab, real page turner and when I watch films, I have to be fidling with something, but this I sat and watched, glued to the tv. It's such an emontional and sad film with added charm, I would recomed this to anyone!
