Meet Tracy, follow her story and share her hopes for the future in this beautifully observed, touching and often very funny tale, all told in Tracy's own words. 'Tracy is lively and spirited and her narrative funny and moving' - The BooksellerAn appealing mix of events and reactions that are both entertaining and moving. A book that lingers in the mind long after it is put down * Guardian *
A sensitive and beautifully observed story . . . Our young readers appreciated both the humour and the pathos * Federation of Children's Book Groups, 1991 Pick of the Year *
Tracy is lively and spirited, and her narrative funny and moving * The Bookseller *
A breath of fresh air. It is entertaining yet tender but by no means sentimental when it confronts the need we all have for commitment in relationships, for trust, for love . . . A real bonus is that the book genuinely celebrates the act of writing - and not by preaching, I promise * The School Librarian *
