Product Information

When Wilson began to focus on writing, she completed several crime fiction novels before dedicating herself to children's books. At the age of 40, she took A-level English and earned a grade A. [7] She had mixed success with about 40 books before the breakthrough to fame in 1991 with The Story of Tracy Beaker, [8] published by Doubleday. All upcoming public events are going ahead as planned and you can find more information on our events blog Due to a change in production location, many of the cast from the first series departed; Jay Haher ( Zac Patterson), Sonny Muslim ( Ryan Patterson), Joe Starrs ( Peter Ingham) and Jerome Holder ( Maxy King). The building used across the second and third series, plus Tracy Beaker: The Movie of Me was The Hollies, a former nursing home on Station Road in Llanishen. No reference was made to the change in location and the children's home continued to be known as Stowey House. The Hollies now houses private offices. Harmer, Dani (14 March 2018).

ISSN 0261-3077 . Retrieved 4 April 2020. Tracy is such a believable child narrator. She isn't overly naive, yet she is in no way mature. I possibly found her funnier now than I did when I was younger; things like calling her social worker 'Elaine the Pain' just totally appealed to my stupid sense of humour. In late 2006, The Story of Tracy Beaker was adapted into a musical, featuring Sarah Churm as Tracy Beaker. [11] [12] [13] Translations [ edit ] The book was published in 1991. I can’t say it was an overnight success but it did better than my others and soon a wonderful producer at the BBC, Sue Nott, told me she was desperate to make it into a TV series. She had trouble though: some people believed Tracy wasn’t an aspirational character and wouldn’t be popular, but Sue persisted. A decade after the first book, the show started.
