Customer Reviews

VERY FUNNY & GOOD FOR CHILDREN 10 OR LESS
it's very touching and humerous where there are a few sad parts. The first story is all about Tracey Beaker and she lives at an adoption home where she feels unloved because no one has come to collect her and her best friend went off with another girl who bullied and teased her. A lady comes along interviews tracey to get her a parent and advertises her in the local paper.. a lady who already has 2 children came to see Tracey and visited her nearly every day and makes her feel much better although she never gets to be adopted. I read the book in bed on my own and i think lots of other children should read it too.

i have got both of these books and they are Magical.
BOTH BOOKS I HAVE READ AND I COUN'NT PUT THEM DOWN THEY WERE JUST FANTASTIC. JACQUELINE WILSON IS A GREAT AUTHOR FOR CHILDREN AND OLDER READERS.
