Tracy Beaker is back …and she’s just desperate for a role in her school play. They’re performing A Christmas Carol and for one extremely worrying moment, the irrepressible Tracy thinks she might not even get to play one of the unnamed street urchins. But then she is cast in the main role. Can she manage to act grumpy, difficult and sulky enough to play Ebeneezer Scrooge? Well, she does have a bit of help on that front from Justine Pain-In-The-Bum Littlewood …As Tracy prepares for her big moment, Cam is the one helping her learn her lines. But all Tracy really wants to know is if her film-star mum will make it back from Hollywood in time to watch her in her starring role? This hilarious and heartbreaking new story from the bestselling, award-winning, Jacqueline Wilson, follows her most popular character through ups and downs, laughs and tears. Fifteen years on from her first appearance on the page, Tracy Beaker is as vibrant and entertaining as ever.

I love reading about Tracy getting into mischief

It was nice because she met her mum who had left her for 5 years. She told Tracy she didn’t recognise her because when she was a toddler she was so cheeky and always stuck her tongue out. I would recommend this book.

I really liked reading this book because it was very fun.
I would recommend this book to someone else.
This book was fiction and the person I liked the best was Tracy(although I do like all the characters).

This fiction book is very good about a girl called Tracy Beaker, who got a big role in a play and still took part in it even though she sent presents for her mum and her mum didn't come.
But at the end she got a bouquet from he mum with a message.
I would like to recommend it to some one.

This was a book for the people who love jaquiline Wilson or who just loved the concept of the story and I hope you enjoy this story! And a lot of people can relate of not having a mother or father and the author was just bring the idea out there!

I really enjoyed the comedy and feeling in this book. At some points I really felt like I was in the story and could feel Tracy's sorrow,happiness and anger throughout. This book tells the story of Tracy performing in the play of 'A Christmas Carol'. She desperately wants her mum to come and see her act Scrooge but it seems likely that she won't. Join Tracy on her Christmas sleigh ride.

Great book only I downfall that it just says said all the time for example:
“I made a partition” Peter said.
Why can’t it be:
“I made a partition” Peter told me,Peter whispered etc.
All together great!

I thought this book was amazing. I think that Lousie is horrible to betray Tracy like that but oh never mind. I think Cam would be an awesome and amazing foster mother and I think that Tracy is right to be so zealous and enthusiastic about that idea. I feel so sorry for poor poor Peter when I think of the way that Tracy treated him after all he had done. I would have felt so ever grateful if Peter had done a petition for me and got the whole school to sign it. Well, at least Tracy sort off helped Peter to learn his lines. I found it so ever hilarious when Peter said that he wished he could be a show off like Tracy. I can just imagine Tracy's face. I think that Peter is my favorite character because of his kindness and affection towards Tracy and how patient he was with her. It was so ever nice of him to start the cleaning club just to help Tracy. I can't believe he even managed to convince Justin-Show Off-Liar-Littlewood to participate in the cleaning club. Wow! Peter must be more popular than he imagined after what he had done. I still think that the headteacher is horrid to consider not signing the petition and I also think that it was so ever rude of her to tell Tracy that she was very tempted to try pulling her nose and stretching it. Ha. That's what I would like to do to you! I recommend it to all people because this is, as usual, an awesome and amazing book that will keep your eyes glued to thee pages and your hands stuck to the amazing book. I absolutely loved it.

I loved the the made up Christmas songs!

24 Aug 2020

It was really fun. My favourite character was Cam because she was really kind.
I would recommend it definitely.

23 Aug 2020

this book was about Tracy beaker she has lost her mum, she believes she is a world famous movie star she lives in a orphanage with Peter one of her friends. I would recommend this to 6-7 year olds because they are more likely to like it and find it more interesting than older kids the reason for this is because this book has things like humours and sad moments in it

23 Aug 2020

I liked Tracy Beaker the best because she would always have faith that that her mom would come to her play (Christmas Play) however her mum may not come because she is a famous actor and she may be busy in acting a film.
It interested me as when I looked at the blurb I read it and I found it interesting.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Jaqueline Wilson and her books.
