Bigg School Series

(26 reviews)

Jacqueline Wilson fans, line up! This series is funny, relatable and just as full of heart, for readers aged 8+.

With each book focussing on a different student at Bigg School, these books tackle so many different things young students face on a daily basis. From changing school, making new friends, losing other friends and annoying siblings, to the tougher topics such as parents' health and challenging home life, this is the series we believe all children should read to feel seen, build empathy and simply enjoy brilliant stories. 

We'd recommend this for any fans of Dork Diaries and The Exploding Life Of Scarlett Fife, as well as more books by Lisa Williamson like All About Mia and The Art of Being Normal.
