Cookie

Author(s): Jacqueline Wilson

Fiction 7+

"Beauty Cookson is no beauty. She s a plain, timid girl surrounded by super-confident, snooty girls at school. Worse than the teasing in the playground, though, is the unpredictable criticism from her father. Frequently berated for breaking any of Dad s hyper-fussy house rules, as well as for her lack of looks, confidence and friends, Beauty lives in uneasy fear whenever Dad s at home. Her pretty, sweet mum is equally subject to Dad s tirades. Eventually, after an unbearable birthday party and a very real fear that Dad s temper is out of control, Mum and Beauty run away. Very soon Mum and Beauty find themselves in an idyllic seaside resort where their new-found freedom and a moment of culinary inspiration give them a hobby, an income and even a new nickname for Beauty.Soon all Beauty s dreams come true and she deserves it! A charming, page-turning and heart-warming story from this beloved author."
