The Story of Tracy Beaker was well received and shortlisted for the Smarties Prize; her new novel, The Suitcase Kid is, I think, even better . . . Jacqueline Wilson finds humour in this very poignant situation, and her storytelling is stylish

A very sensitive account of what could very well happen in a similar family situation
