Jacqueline Wilson's Funny Girls by Jacqueline Wilson
THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER I'm Tracy Beaker. This is a book all about me. I'd read it if I were you. It's the most incredible dynamic heart-rending story. Honest. SHORTLISTED FOR THE SMARTIES PRIZE AND THE CARNEGIE MEDAL THE BED AND BREAKFAST STAR I'm Elsa, and I'm hoping to be a big star one day. I tell jokes all the time to try and cheer my family up. Trouble is, no-one seems to laugh much any more. Not since we lost our lovely house and had to move into a bed and breakfast hotel . . . WINNER OF THE YOUNG TELEGRAPH FULLY BOOKED AWARDAn unsentimental and truthful book that is even better for a strong sense of mischief * Independent on Sunday on THE BED AND BREAKFAST STAR *
An appealing mix of events and reactions that are both entertaining and movingA book that lingers in the mind long after it is put down * Guardian on THE BED AND BREAKFAST STAR *
Tracy is a marvellously feisty creation: she is arrogant and rude, but the occasional glimpses we get of the vulnerable girl behind the tough exterior are enough to endear her to the reader . . . The excellent spiky illustrations by Nick Sharratt on nearly every page are a perfect complement to the text * The Bookseller on THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER *
A sensitive and beautifully observed story . . . our young readers appreciated both the humour and the pathos * Federation of Children's Book Groups on THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER *
