Retrieved 10 February 2021. I re-read this book recently because I love Jacqueline Wilson and I thought I'd re-read all of my old books whilst awaiting some new books to arrive. Jacqueline was my idol and I adored every single one of her books growing up, so I knew that I would enjoy this. Jacqueline is also a great reader, and has amassed over 20,000 books, along with her famous collection of silver rings. I really regret being peer-pressured out of reading these books as a young boy, because I connect with the character so much. Tracy is the dreamer in us all, and the inner voice of frustration at the world. She is also the epitomatic unreliable narrator, casting doubt on whether reality really is as true as we take it. But as closure, she does to a degree come to terms with reality, so that by the end, she and we come to appreciate her situation as a dream come true in its own way.

Starring Tracy Beaker’ is not the first book written by Wilson that stars this young character. Tracy Beaker has become a popular story book series worldwide and has also become a successful hit TV show. An immensely readable novel which handles serious issues – fractured families, the nature of celebrity – with the lightest of touches. The Story of Tracy Beaker (informally known as Tracy Beaker or TSOTB) is a British television programme series adapted from the book of the same name by Jacqueline Wilson. It ran on CBBC for five series, from January 2002 to December 2005 and also contained a feature-length episode, Tracy Beaker: The Movie of Me, broadcast in February 2004, as well as a week of interactive episodes for Children in Need. The theme song was written and produced by Brian Harris and Nigel Lowis and performed by Keisha White. Tracy's school is doing a play, "A Christmas Carol" and desperately wants the part of the protagonist, Ebeneezer Scrooge. Meanwhile, she badly wants her mum to come to the play so she can spend Christmas with her and Peter is trying hard to get Tracy's attention by making a petition to get her in the school play and helping her alot. Justine also wants her dad to be watching the play. With help from her potential foster mother Cam, Tracy prepares for her part and looks forward to a reunion with her mother. As usual things don’t turn out exactly as Tracy expects but she and Cam eventually manage to create a Christmas to remember.

It is the third book in the series but is a prequel to "The Dare Game" and explores the budding relationship that Tracey develops with Cam before getting fostered. It follows Tracey and the rest of the children from the "Dumping Ground" as the new Christmas play is being developed and performed. Unsurprisingly, loveable drama-queen Tracey Beaker lands the main part of Scrooge. She wants to get this role perfect because she wants to perform especially for her mum who has promised that she will visit for Christmas via a postcard. Yet, lovers of this series will know that she is completely unreliable; the most heart wrenching scenes of this book, are of Tracey spending all of her money to get her presents only to be disappointed by her yet again. And seeing her go up against the people around her is actually an eye opening experience for looking into how young children in care do see the world. Jacqueline Wilson (named the Children’s Laureate 2005 – 2007) continues her string of successful children’s books by introducing one about a young girl called Tracy Beaker. The Story of Tracy Beaker has been released on DVD in the UK by Right Entertainment and Universal Pictures Video, under license from the BBC. I loved Tracy Beaker as a child, and I adore her even more as an adult. I love that I grew up watching the show, and so now when I read it, I can imagine the characters as I read. I think it’s important to remember when reading these books, that us adults aren’t the target audiences, so voting them low because you don’t like them as adults, isn’t really a true reflection of the book. That said, I absolutely loved it so it’s five stars for me.

Personally, the structure of the book was a little bit all over the place for me. I like to read books with chapters because I use chapters for bookmarked areas where I put the book down. This book: did not have chapters. Not a massive problem, as I still enjoyed the book. And of course, there could be reasons for Jacqueline to have set her book like this. It could be: Tracy's conscious stream of thought or even a semi-journal thing that isn't a diary so it doesn't have to be sectioned off. However, I like the first person perspective and the whole idea of telling a story, as this can be engaging for a younger reader and help them create empathetic feelings towards individual characters.

From 2006-2008, the entire series was released on twenty-four DVD sets that were released as part of a fortnightly-published magazine titled the "Tracy Beaker DVD Collection".

The Story of Tracy Beaker, written by Jacqueline Wilson, was first published in 1991. Wilson's book Cliffhanger had previously been adapted as a two-part drama for television in 1995, though this was the first of her works to become a fully fledged series. The first series was filmed on location at Amherst Lodge in Ealing, which doubled as the care home Stowey House, during Summer 2001. The building, which was a former maternity home and children's home, was sold by Ealing Council shortly after the series aired, and production moved to Cardiff for series 2. Amherst Lodge has since been developed into flats. This book takes place in the dumping ground between the end of the first book and the end of the second book. Tracy has an ambition of performing a main part in the school play and really wants her mum to see her show.
