Jacqueline goes back to the old days with her new novel, My Mum Tracy Beaker. Tracy has matured a little, but she's still a spitfire, charging into situations without thinking. Her daughter, Jess, is one of Jacqueline's 'timid, bookish' heroines, and Cam features hugely, along with other characters from the Tracy Beaker trilogy.

I won't spoil the story for you ... if you've read enough Wilson books, you'll recognise it anyway ... but it's a good read with engaging characters. A great Christmas present for the nine year old in your life.

 I may be 24 but Jacqueline Wilson is an author I will always love and read. It’s thanks to Jacqueline I got into reading! I grew up with the mighty Tracy Beaker so this was a must read for me and I wasn’t disappointed at all.

This book brought back so many memories for me! The real Tracy Beaker is back with a mini her! Oh dear. Jess is just like her mum but a smaller version. Parts had me laughing at loud, other parts sad. It is a brilliant story with a lovely ending. I loved all the little pictures throughout Nick Sharratt is a brilliant illustrator.

I loved every second of it even if I did devour it within a day. Highly recommend! An easy read for me but just what I needed, to get away from adulthood and take a step back into my early teenage days for a while. Its a fantastic story of the beaker girls. Five stars from me. You’re never too old for Jacqueline Wilson.

Nothing like a wee read of childhood favourites when you’re going through a tough time.
Although it’s a new book, Tracy Beaker hasn’t changed a bit. Really enjoyed and I loved the ending!

Read this as a 20 year old for nostalgia. To start, I was just reading it to say I've read it sort of thing, and then I found myself actually getting quite invested in the end. Not the best book I've ever read and I wish tracy beaker had a better future ahead of her, she's made out to be such a bad person. Having said that, I still plan on reading the one after this so it wasn't all that bad!

Oh nostalgia. Oh Tracy, you never really change (though you have gotten more responsible). Cute read.

It was so lovely to read about an adult Tracy Beaker and where she ended up.
