The Story of Tracy Beaker
by Jacqueline Wilson
Tracy lives in a children's home, writes her life story in a workbook, and insists her mother is a Hollywood actress who will come for her any day.
A story about children, funny and moving in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 9 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
