This was a very fun book by Jacqueline Wilson. Even though Tracy is very funny though, you can see that she protects herself with her humor, and often lies about her "glamorous" mom coming back for her one day. She says all sorts of things about her mom, like how she travels abroad lots and that's why she never has time for Tracy. You can tell that Tracy is mean to many of the other kids living in her foster home because she's jealous and upset that she can't have what they have, like outings with their parents. I think this book is very good to help kids practice seeing things from someone else's point of view more!

STRICTLY PRIVATE. KEEP OUT ON PAIN OF DEATH.
I'm Tracy Beaker. I'm 10 years old and 2 months. I live in a children's home. I call it The Dumping Ground. My best friend was Louise but she has gone off with Justine. I don't care though, I expect my mum will come and get me soon anyway. I never cry. Ever. I've done a bit of screaming and stamping in my time mind you... I like eating birthday cake. And any other type of cake. And Smarties and Mars Bars and Big Macs with French fries and strawberry milkshakes. I also like story writing. This is my autobiography. I like that word. There are some really good bits in it. Honest.

Tracy Beaker is in a child home, a "dumping ground like she calls it. She loves her mother more then anything but her mother only came ONCE to see her girl. Tracy tells her life in this touching and emotional book.
