The chatty style draws young readers straight into the story, and
the constant stream of corny jokes masks, but does not conceal, the
deeper issues
*Daily Telegraph on THE BED AND BREAKFAST STAR*
An unsentimental and truthful book that is even better for a strong
sense of mischief
*Independent on Sunday on THE BED AND BREAKFAST STAR*
An appealing mix of events and reactions that are both entertaining
and moving. A book that lingers in the mind long after it is put
down
*Guardian on THE BED AND BREAKFAST STAR*
Tracy is a marvellously feisty creation: she is arrogant and rude,
but the occasional glimpses we get of the vulnerable girl behind
the tough exterior are enough to endear her to the reader . . . The
excellent spiky illustrations by Nick Sharratt on nearly every page
are a perfect complement to the text
*The Bookseller on THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER*
A sensitive and beautifully observed story . . . our young readers
appreciated both the humour and the pathos
*Federation of Children's Book Groups on THE STORY OF TRACY BEAKER*
