From Amazon.co.uk: Sandi Toksvig reads Jacqueline Wilson's The Story of Tracy Beaker in this unabridged three-CD pack. Shortlisted for the Smarties Prize in 1991, Tracy Beaker's story is told in the first-person by an infuriating and loveable 10-year-old, and 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. Wilson is a highly accomplished, prolific, prize-winning author, outstandingly successful in dealing with painful social and personal problems in a realistic, funny, touching and highly memorable way. This is a must for 7-11 year-olds. Running time is two hours 40 minutes. --Tamsin Palmer
this book is the best ever!!!!!!!: If your a fan on Jaquelines books this is a must read book. Its the BEST ever! Tracy Beaker is such a funny character and I had a fare few laughs from the book and also tears. After you read this book i can reccomend the dare game which follows on from the story of tracy beaker. If you want a book which will make you laugh and that you can read over and over again, This is the 1!!!!!
another great story from a great author: This book is about a girl whose mum does not want her. It makes you think about how life is for children whose lives aren't as happy as your own. But the book has lots of happy parts too - the lady Tracy goes to live with is kind and they do fun things together. And there is at least one big surprise in the book. Tracy is an interesting mix of kind and cruel. As with all the Jacqueline Wilson books, I couldn't put this one down.
