6 My love for Tracy Beaker started before the show was aired
My love for Tracy Beaker started before the show was aired. I read a lot of Jaqueline Wilsons books which is were the show originated from. I liked the language she used. It was almost like she understood what its like to be a teenager in care, she also used slang words which connected with the reader better as it created more of an understanding relationship.
