These are the books I read as a kid that kinda ruined my childhood ngl. I still read some lol. These are all by the same author: Jaqueline Wilson. Spoilers for anyone reading her books!

Vicky angel: A girl witnesses her best friend dying in a car accident and hallucinates her for the rest of the book. At one point the hallucination tells her to jump off a train to “be with her”. 

My sister Jodie: A girl and her older sister go to a boarding school where their parents got jobs. The older sis (Jodie) gets bullied a lot and at the end accidentally falls down a tower leaving the younger girl traumatised. 

Dustbin baby: girl goes travelling to find her real mother who threw her in a dustbin when she was born.  Story told in flashbacks about when the girls adoptive mother k!led herself and the girl has all this  trauma also Main Character tried to k!ll her bully. 

Cookie: Emotionally abusive dad kills the poor girl’s bunny and her and her mother leave. They run away to an island and bake cookies together. It ends nicely so it’s not as bad as the others. 


Love lessons: 40yo teacher and 14yo girl kiss each other. It’s disgusting but yeah. 

There’s more but yeah these r the ones that scared me. Out of all of these Id say that Dustbin baby, Love lessons and Vicky angel are the worst. That’s all  ty for reading
