Children's author of over 100 books and creator of beloved characters, Dame Jacqueline Wilson is taking Dr Alex on a ramble in East Sussex. 

Fresh from winning a British Book award himself the previous night, Dr Alex is keen to discuss Jacky’s journey as an author, her childhood and the power of books.  

The pair discuss the teachers who believed in them, how fiction is a powerful tool for learning empathy and the importance of portraying realistic characters and their struggles. 

Plus, Jacky opens up about how she fought through negativity to pursue her childhood dream to become a writer.
