Touching, wistful and wonderful tale for older readers by another prize-winning former children's laureate

Bursting with a thirteen-year-old's delight in hanging out with her friends and taking on the world

A surefire bestseller for everyone

Far more believable and emotionally valid than other fiction of its ilk

Oisin McGann gets the reader involved right from the start through his instantly recognisable urban settings and detailed, well-developed characters . . . A pacy, tension filled thriller, which keeps the reader guessing as to how the story will end and if all the characters will make it, right to the last page

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

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

I think this is my favourite book of all

This is a brilliant book!
