My Mum Tracy Beaker: Now a major TV series

Product Information

The story is told from the point of view of Jess Beaker, Tracy's ten year old daughter (played by Emma Maggie Davies, who does a good job in the role) who lives with her mum on a council estate. He has won numerous awards for his picture books, including the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the 2001 Children's Book Award. But yeah they always want to add a good deal more drama to the series adaptations, which makes sense of course, being a lot more conveyable on TV. I'd been disappointed by Opal Plumstead, the last JW book I read, because despite implications that she was gay the main character skips off into the sunset-literally-with a boring bloke at the end.

I wasn't going to miss it - and I needed to see whether a certain person would show up at the end, just like in the book. I'M TRACY BEAKER, THE GREAT INVENTOR OF EXTREMELY OUTRAGEOUS DARES - AND I DARE YOU TO READ A MORE BRILLIANT STORY THAN THIS! The content and ambition of the show remains the same: to give every pupil the opportunity to engage with authors and illustrators in their own classroom using the power of the internet. Tracy is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for her and Jess to climb the social ladder and live with Sean, whilst Cam represents someone who is entirely comfortable with her place in society, and this comfortability allows her to form genuine relationships.

For instance, the scene with their cat fight in the chippy just seemed really weird and of course embarrassing to happen between two grown up women in their 30s, with a 19 year feud at that! I was also surprised, but pleased, by the small scene between Tracy and Jess that implied depression.

I grew up with the mighty Tracy Beaker so this was a must read for me and I wasn’t disappointed at all.As a childhood lover of the original Tracy Beaker books, like many others in this camp I was excited to read this new updated as to how Tracy's life would progress beyond the Dumping Ground.

I'd say while I enjoyed it for the nostalgia, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed in parts, and like I've mentioned the series and book continuity, feeling since it was meant to follow the book rather than the original series made things a little confusing and incongrouous, like it shouldn't have been canon with the series but obviously was supposed to be. Jacqueline's books include The Story of Tracy Beaker, which has become a hugely successful BBC TV series; Girls in Love, which together with its two sequels was filmed for ITV television; and Double Act, which she adapted for Channel 4 and which won the Royal TV Society's Best Children's Fiction Award. I agree as well about the gay romance, which made me realize how much the TV series and Book series had actually ended up sort of coming into continuity clashes with each other, but was still nice to see. I did also find Wilson's use of so many modern terms slightly forced, as though she had made sure to reference emojis, Instagram and Snapchat to assure both the reader and perhaps herself that this book was several decades ahead of the original story.
