Reviews

The writing is brilliant and very readable . . . It's like Sophie Kinsella for younger audiences

—— Zoe Page , The Bookbag

Liz Rettig has magaged once again to capture the essence of a girl's teenage years, and all the confusing problems that inevitably accompany it

—— Wondrous Reads

A sensitive and beautifully observed story . . . Our young readers appreciated both the humour and the pathos

—— Federation of Children's Book Groups, 1991 Pick of the Year

Tracy is lively and spirited, and her narrative funny and moving

—— The Bookseller

A breath of fresh air. It is entertaining yet tender but by no means sentimental when it confronts the need we all have for commitment in relationships, for trust, for love . . . A real bonus is that the book genuinely celebrates the act of writing - and not by preaching, I promise

—— The School Librarian

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

Poignant, funny and heartwarming first story about the damaged, demanding and delightful Tracy Beaker

—— Birmingham Post

I think this is my favourite book of all

—— Junior Education
