“Meet Tracy Beaker, ten-year-old girl wonder and daughter of a famous Hollywood actress. Sort of—-This is the real story of Tracy Beaker.”
“Tracy’s not exactly sure what her mother does, because Tracy has been in foster care as long as she can remember. Maybe one day her mother will show up and together they’ll have fabulous adventures. Then again, maybe she won’t.”
In the meantime, Tracy’s doing everything she can to take care of herself. And that’s hard work, because the girls she lives with are mean and nasty and rude and horrible. Mostly. When a journalist shows up to write a story about their orphanage, she and Tracy strike up a special friendship. Though life might not work out as she plans, Tracy emerges as a spirited girl who’s not quite as tough as she wants everybody to think she is.” (FOSTER CARE)
