We Are The Beaker Girls

Jacqueline Wilson’s FUNNIEST, FIERCEST and most BELOVED new heroine JESS BEAKER returns for another AMAZING ADVENTURE.

Jess and Tracy Beaker have found happiness in The Dumping Ground.

Not that Dumping Ground- the children’s home that Tracy grew up in- but a seaside antique shop full of treasures, along with Flo, the owner, and Alfie, their dog.

Jess is looking for a fantastic new boyfriend for her mum (mostly because Tracy’s awful ex Sean is back on the scene). But Jess has bigger problems of her own- she’s being picked on by kid who’s got it in for her.

But when Jess uncovers the truth about her new enemy, it means big changes for the Beaker Girls…

The Creative Writing Prize 2019 Winner announced!

The winning Story by 9-year-old Fern Brindle is to be published in We are the Beaker Girls by Jacqueline Wilson in June 2020.

9-year-old Fern Brindle from Dronfield in Derbyshire has won this year’s prize. For this year’s challenge, entrants were asked to write a short story on any subject between 750-1000 words. 

Fern’s story, Mum’s New Hobby, is a highly original and very funny story. Fern says she was inspired to write it because “my Granddad said that I didn’t have a sense of humour, (I don’t find his jokes funny). Then my Mum knitted a hat that didn’t turn out right, it was big enough to fit a giant and I just started imagining what funny things might happen with a ginormous hat!”
