| Meet Tracy Beaker, and follow her hilarious search for a new foster home | | Tracy is keeping a diary about herself and her life in the children's home. She is candid and witty, but desperate to find some new foster parents. She has already had several but they never seemed to want her to stay. When a young writer called Cam comes to visit the children's home, Tracy sees a possible future for herself, all she needs to do is convince everyone else, including Cam. | | Easily read by those with some confidence and ability. | | Another very well written story from Jacqueline Wilson, she definitely has the minds of young people sorted out in her head. She creates characters with such ease you could believe they really exist. This is a tender yet funny story, dealing with the sadness and rejection felt by children waiting to find foster or adoptive parents. We see the worries and hope that they experience all the time. All of this is bound up in Wilson's usual snappy writing and well observed mannerisms of her characters. | | Other books by Jacqueline Wilson include Bad Girls, Best Friends, Buried Alive!, Cliffhanger, Connie and the Water Babies, Double Act, Dustbin Baby, Girls in Love, Girls Out Late, Girls Under Pressure, Glubbslyme, How to Survive Summer Camp, Lizzie Zipmouth, Lola Rose, Midnight, My Brother Bernadette, Secrets, Sleepovers, The Bed and Breakfast Star, The Cat Mummy, The Dare Game, The Illustrated Mum, The Lottie Project, The Mum-Minder, The Suitcase Kid, The Werepuppy, Twin Trouble, Vicky Angel. | | This review by Mrs Mad. | | Shortlisted for the 1991 Smarties Prize, this story aims to be both moving and entertaining. 10-years-old Tracy tells of her life in a children's home, and how much she would like a real home and a real family. | Charlotte, Davison
