The Story Of Tracy Beaker既人物概述(15pts)

'The Story Of Tracy Beaker', as you will guess from the title, tells the story of the troublesome Tracy Beaker who lives in a foster home after being taken into care. It's a lively, intelligent read that manages to be both really funny and deeply moving. Some of my children really related to the character of Tracy Beaker. All these activites were done as follow-up homework after reading the book in class. I must admit to being a great fan of Jacqueline Wilson's books. I find that the children really relate to the characters in them and love the way that they speak like 'real children'.

Shortlisted for the Smarties Prize in 1991, Tracy Beaker's story, which is told in the first person by the infuriating and loveable 10-year-old Tracy, is a wonderfully funny and thought- provoking slice of life in a children's home. Tracy, as she herself tells us, has had a hard time. She's been fostered a number of times but it's never worked out. Now she dreams of her glamorous mother coming to fetch her and spends her time, when she's not quarrelling with the other children, writing her life story. And then one day, Cam, a real writer, visits the home and after a rocky start, she and Tracy really hit it off. This highly accomplished, prolific, prizewinning author is outstandingly successful in dealing with painful social and personal problems in a realistic, funny, touching and highly memorable way. The story is delightfully illustrated by Nick Sharratt and laid out in a genuinely user-friendly way. A must for 7- 11-year-olds. --Tamsin Palmer
