Look insideCookie

Beauty Cookson is no beauty. In fact, she’s as plain as anything – and her scary dad is always telling her so. He’s a fussy, bullying tyrant who constantly puts her and Mum down. And when a birthday party goes very wrong, Mum and Beauty realise that Dad is out of control. They need to escape before someone gets hurt. So they run away! Soon Mum and Beauty are in a sunny seaside resort, finding a new-found freedom, a hobby, an income… and even a new nickname for Beauty. All of Beauty’s dreams are coming true at last… and she deserves it! This brand new blockbuster from Jacqueline Wilson is an inspirational tale of hope to make your heart dance.

cookie:it is a great book written by jacqueline wilson.I personaly forgot who I was while I was reading it hahaha because I felt like I was Beauty and it made it a real story that you would understand how Beauty felt.Her dad is really quite mean and it is his fault that she gets called names at school because it was him that called her Beauty.If you have not read this and would like to buy a book from the bookclub leaflet then I recomend that you buy this one as lots of people like it including me.It is an over all terrific book that is an all kinds of emotion type of experience with a truly great ending.
