Think Again: Jacqueline Wilson ages up her ‘Girls’ for an adult sequel — and a new series to follow

Jacqueline Wilson returns to her 1990s ‘Girls’ trilogy with an adult sequel, Think Again, catching up with Ellie, Nadine, and Magda as they approach 40. The book adds mild adult themes while keeping Wilson’s voice and empathy. She’s also announced Picture Imperfect for August 28, 2025, a follow-up to The Illustrated Mum, revisiting Dolphin and Star in adulthood.
