## Caption

Best-selling children’s author Dame Jacqueline Wilson has released a new book about a girl in care with a troubled childhood.  It isn’t about her best-known creation Tracy Beaker - but Esme Pepper, who ends up with a foster family after her mum is caught stealing the expensive dolls house which Esme desperately wants. Matt Frei spoke to her about the state of reading in the UK and the ‘tyranny’ of smart phones. #JacquelineWilson #Reading #Books #UKNews #C4News
