A much-loved tale featuring Jacqueline"s most popular character. STRICTLY PRIVATE. KEEP OUT ON PAIN OF DEATH. I"m Tracy Beaker. I"m 10 years old and 2 months. I live in a children"s home. I call it The Dumping Ground. My best friend was Louise but she has gone off with Justine. I don"t care though, I expect my mum will come and get me soon anyway. I never cry. Ever. I"ve done a bit of screaming and stamping in my time mind you... I like eating birthday cake. And any other type of cake. And Smarties and Mars Bars and Big Macs with French fries and strawberry milkshakes. I also like story writing. This is my autobiography. I like that word. There are some really good bits in it. Honest.
