The Story of Tracy Beaker

137 pp. | Delacorte | August, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-385-72919-7 $$15.95
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Nick Sharratt. Tough-talking ten-year-old Tracy, in and out of foster homes, finds herself back in a children's home once again. An aspiring writer, she strikes up a friendship with a journalist who visits the home to research a story. The diary format works well and provides a surprisingly well-rounded picture of the seemingly callous but lonely young girl. Sharratt's cartoon drawings help lighten the tone.
