Product Description

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Jacqueline Wilson's favourite character, Tracy Beaker, who lives in a children's home. Ten-year-old Tracy is smart and full of energy, but more than anything she wants love. In The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy doesn't know where her mum lives, but that doesn't stop her having long imaginary conversations with her. She's had two foster families before, which haven't worked out, but she hopes a woman named Cam will be her next foster mum.

In The Dare Game Tracy is now living with Cam and starting a new school. Things seem to be looking up for Tracy - but then the trouble begins. She has a horrible teacher, the other kids laugh at her, and things between her and Cam aren't going as well as expected. Tracy's friends Alexander and Football are having their own problems, too. Then one day, out of the blue, who should appear but Tracy's long-lost mum.

A real kid's kid 15 Jan 2003
By Mrs. Sba Francis VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
Tracy Beaker is a real life, believable 10 year old - she's offensive, defensive, loud, obnoxious, occasionally violent, and totally lovable. If she was real I think we'd foster her!

The novel is a warm look at life as a child in care, with all the ups and downs, loves and hates that that engenders. In no way is Tracy a Pollyanna character who can see the best in every situation, but she is a gutsy and intelligent girl who just deals with all the situations that life throws at her. And this is where she is so endearing to other children - she IS naughty (sometimes, she's horrendous!), she DOES get into trouble and spends time in the quiet room - she does many things that my son could identify with, and she suffers the consequences, just as he has to! She is a child who other children can relate to. And like they have to, she just gets on with it.

The ending is open, with no decisions made, no new life to go to - but there is the hope that this will happen. And indeed, how else could Jacqueline Wilson end it? Life has no certainties in reality, no sure-fire happy endings, but it does have lashings of ups and downs and ladles of hope - and so does the novel. I - and my son - heartily recommend it!

I chose this book of Tracy Beaker as my favourite Millennuim story as the character Tracy made me laugh and smile and made me realise how lucky I am to live in a nice house with my mum and my dad brothers. I read this book when I was 7 my mum read it first when I was 6.

The story is all about a girl called Tracy being sent to live in an orphange because her mum's boyfriend doesn't like her. Lots of people adopt her but they don't keep her because she is vicious and rude. Tracy tells funny stories and jokes about the people that adopled her and she told a story about a family that smacked her every time she told a lie. The story also made me feel sorry for Tracy.

Excellent!!! 6 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
An excellent read about a girl who lives in a foster home and is asked to write a diary about herself. She has a very vivid imagination and enjoys writing stories. She isn't well behaved and really stubborn. Her way or no way basically. In the middle of the story she has an idea, when an author comes to visit the foster home. This idea leads on to the sequel 'The Dare Game. A very good read and five star recommendation. (To find out the idea you'll just have to read the book!!!)
