Product details

Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Shortlisted for the Smarties Prize in 1991, Tracy Beaker's story, which is told in the first person by the infuriating and loveable 10-year-old Tracy, is a wonderfully funny and thought- provoking slice of life in a children's home. Tracy, as she herself tells us, has had a hard time. She's been fostered a number of times but it's never worked out. Now she dreams of her glamorous mother coming to fetch her and spends her time, when she's not quarrelling with the other children, writing her life story. And then one day, Cam, a real writer, visits the home and after a rocky start, she and Tracy really hit it off. This highly accomplished, prolific, prizewinning author is outstandingly successful in dealing with painful social and personal problems in a realistic, funny, touching and highly memorable way. The story is delightfully illustrated by Nick Sharratt and laid out in a genuinely user-friendly way. A must for 7- 11-year-olds. --Tamsin Palmer

Book Description
Tracy Beaker lives in a Home, but she'd like to live in a home (without the capital) - an award-winning title.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is excellent., 19 Jan 2000
By A Customer
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.
