Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm Mama Ogre and I have no idea what I'm doing.
As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were we talk about one particular book and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on the book series of Tracy Beaker by Jacqueline Wilson.
The story of Tracy Beaker is told from the point of view to Tracy herself, who is a troubled ten year old. The reason for Tracy's bad behaviour steams from her feeling lonely, frustrated and unloved. Tracy lives in a children's residential care home nicknamed the dumping ground where she was placed due to neglect and domestic violence. Her mother often left Tracy alone when she was young and doesn't have an interest in her daughters life. Despite not being with her mother, Tracy misses her and would often sit by the same window waiting for her mother. Tracy has difficulty getting along with the staff and other children including a girl called Justine Littlewood. From an adults point of view Tracy has “Behavioural issues” and often tells lies. Despite this Tracy is very imaginative loves to write including her own autobiography and believes her mother will come home one day. She often portrays a deep and complicated mind.

I loved reading Tracy Beaker as a child, for some reason it gave me some sense of what the world could be for other children, especially those of a different background and experience set to me. I highly recommend the book to 8-11 year olds especially and give the book an 8/10.
Born Jacqueline Aitken in Bath, Somerset on December 17th 1945. Wilson grew up with parents Harry (A civil servant) and Biddy (A house maid) loving to read and having a great imagination, this gave her the nickname Jacky Daydream at nine years old, which eventually became the title of her autobiography detailing her primary school years. Wilson's first book debuted in 1969 and as she went on writing many of her books went onto be nominated and win several awards including the annual British book awards children's book of the year, the Whitbread awards shortlist and both the Smarties prize and the guardian children's fiction prize. In her teens, Wilson met her husband Millar Wilson who was a printer. They got married when she was nineteen and two years later they welcomed daughter Emma.
