The story of Tracy Beaker

Book • 1991
The Story of Tracy Beaker follows the life of ten-year-old Tracy, who lives in a children's residential care home she calls 'The Dumping Ground' due to neglect from her mother.

Through her diary entries, Tracy imagines her mum as a Hollywood star coming to rescue her, copes with behavioural issues, rivalries like with Justine Littlewood, and failed foster placements.

She forms a bond with writer Cam, boosting her confidence and helping her connect with others, in a touching and funny tale of resilience and hope.
