Advantages: Good for under 12's
Disadvantages: Is not that grabbing compared to the rest of her books.

I am a big Jacqueline Wilson fan but I found this book was aimed at younger readers rather than teen with no gripping story line unlike all the other books of Wilson's I have read. Its a carry on from the last two Tracey book s "The story of Tracey Breaker" and "Dare Game" both of which didn't really grap me. But I would recommend this for 12 years and under or for past readers of Tracey Beaker books and can not get enogh of her and her story. ...
...stopped reading it as it did not grap me. Other people might think differently but if a book doesn't grap me with in the first chapther I usasal move on to a different book. So I remonded you take one more point of veiw before ruling this book out. ... Read review
