Book description
Tracy Beaker is back . . . and she's just desperate for a role in her
school play. They're performing A Christmas Carol and for one
extremely worrying moment, the irrepressible Tracy thinks she might
not even get to play one of the unnamed street urchins. But then she
is cast in the main role. Can she manage to act grumpy, difficult and
sulky enough to play Ebenezer Scrooge? Well, she does have a bit of
help on that front from Justine Pain-In-The-Bum Littlewood . . .
As Tracy prepares for her big moment, Cam is the one helping her
learn her lines. But all Tracy really wants to know is if her
film-star mum will make it back from Hollywood in time to watch her in
her starring role.
