Bestselling author
'Wilson’s talent shows again in this novel with strong, compelling characters and a plot that makes the book hard to put down.'
School Library Journal
A charming, page-turning story of family life, friendship and cookies, from bestselling Jacqueline Wilson.
Beauty Cookson is no beauty. She's a plain, timid girl who constantly feels inferior to the super-confident, snooty girls at school. Worse than the teasing in the playground, though, is the unpredictable, hurtful criticism from her father. Beauty and her meek, sweet mother live in uneasy fear of his fierce rages, sparked whenever they break one of his fussy house rules.
Eventually, after an unbearable birthday party and the very real threat of Dad's out-of-control temper, Mum and Beauty run away. Finding themselves in a quiet, idyllic seaside village, their new-found freedom and a moment of culinary inspiration give them a hobby, an income and even a new nickname for Beauty. Can they begin a happier, sweeter life – without Dad?
'Wilson’s extraordinary strength is the reliable, deeply comforting nature of her fiction, in which tough subjects are made approachable for younger readers.'
Kirkus Reviews
'Dame Wilson’s fluid mastery of realistic family-and-friend problems is clear in this title.'
Booklist
