Tracy is ten years and two months old and lives in a children's home. Tracy knows that her mum will come and fetch her one day and whisk her off to a life of luxury. In the meantime she quite likes the idea of being fostered and tries to make a good impression on a visiting writer.

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
Review:
" Jacqueline Wilson is hugely popular with 7- 10 year olds; she should be prescribed for all cases of reading reluctance." - "The Sunday Independent" " A brilliant young writer of wit and subtlety." - "The Times" " A rare gift for writing lightly and amusingly about emotional issues." - "The Bookseller"
