Jacqueline Wilson on the gay character in new book 'Love Frankie' | Newsround

Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first 'novel' when she was nine and since then she has written 111 books including Tracy Beaker, Hetty Feather and Girls in Love. 'Love Frankie' is her most recent children's book which centres around a gay character for the first time, the story follows a teenage girl who falls in love with her best friend. Gay heroines are not common in children's books but Jacqueline is ready to change that narrative as she told Newsround that she's written many books about girls falling in love with boys, but wants to explore other options. Shanequa caught up with Jacqueline to understand why she felt that now is the right time. She said: "That's what I think is so wonderful about nowadays, you don't have to say 'I am this' or 'I am that' you don't have to put yourself in any category... just go with your feelings."
