Jacqueline Wilson's FUNNIEST, FIERCEST and most BELOVED new heroine JESS BEAKER returns for another AMAZING ADVENTURE.
Jess and Tracy Beaker have found happiness in The Dumping Ground. Not that Dumping Ground—the children's home that Tracy grew up in—but a seaside antique shop full of treasures, along with Flo, the owner, and Alfie, their dog.
Jess is looking for a fantastic new boyfriend for her mum (mostly because Tracy's awful ex Sean is back on the scene). But Jess has bigger problems of her own. She's being picked on by a local kid who's got it in for her. But when Jess uncovers the truth about her new enemy, it means big changes for the Beaker Girls...

This series should be read in order.
Tracy is ten years old. She lives in a Children's Home but would like a real home one day, with a real family. 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.
In a series of stories written with humor and sensitivity, Tracy emerges as a spirited girl who’s not quite as tough as she lets everybody think she is. With lively illustrations by Nick Sharratt, the Tracy Beaker books are every bit as funny and engaging as The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series they later inspired.
