Wilson has many books that appear on the Big Read and this is another one. It is a preteen book and reads very quickly and easily. It tells the story of Tracy Beaker (surprise!), who has been in and out of foster care all her life. Tracy is a sympathetic lovable girl with definite behavior problems stemming from her experiences. The entire story is told from her point of view and is even supposed to have been written by her.
The issues in this book are a bit grown up (foster care, death of parents, etc), but it is age appropriate otherwise.
It is so short that it is certainly worth the time.
