A review by katyroy
My Mum Tracy Beaker by Nick Sharratt, Jacqueline Wilson
2.0
I know I’m not the audience for this but I was thinking who is because I read Tracy beaker at the appropriate age of 8 I think. Jess was cute but nothing much happened in the book and usually Jacqueline Wilson books have some sort of message or main theme and I don’t really get what it was in this book. I guess just that money isn’t everything.
I also realise that JW focuses way too much on appearance than I’m comfortable with in a children’s book. Even though I was obsessed with all her books as a child I’m not sure I’d want my child t read them because some of them are actually traumatic and all of them focus a lot on how people look like the children all think they’re ugly and fat people are seen as unlovable and the only beautiful people are skinny people with blonde hair
