Product Information

But when a face from the past that was most unwelcome reappears back in her life, Tracy is filled with dread. So many memories from previous books were brought back; Peter sharing the same birthday, the dumping ground, Cam, Carly and the beach. Tyrone pushes Jess off the bench of their school's "Peace Garden" and she hits her head and cuts her knees. One thing Wilson does well (perhaps too well) is her commitment to the series as a whole, making references to the TV series and all of the original books, even including a major character from 'The Dare Game' which was my favourite as a child. As a childhood lover of the original Tracy Beaker books, like many others in this camp I was excited to read this new updated as to how Tracy's life would progress beyond the Dumping Ground.

But when Tracy reveals she has a new boyfriend, Jess is far from pleased: despite the fact that he spoils her rotten when in fact all Jess wants is love from her Mum. I did find it slightly predictable that Justine would remain the enemy of the story, but in a way this also felt right; as if the two of them would ever truly become friends. As soon as Jess saw Alfie she adored him and he changed her life, he gave Jess a friend when she was lonely. Although I love Jacqueline Wilson, her books are very formulaic and follow a similar storyline- usually a child from a single parent family who hates their parent's romantic partner.Tracy's a single mum, she works a few jobs to make ends meet (waitress, dog walker and she's written a novel!
