Description

Jacqueline Wilson – Cookie

Beauty, Cookson is no beauty. She’s a plain, timid girl surrounded by super-confident, snooty girls at school. Worse than the teasing in the playground, though, is the unpredictable criticism from her father.

Frequently berated for breaking any of Dad’s hyper-fussy house rules, as well as for her lack of looks, confidence and friends, Beauty lives in uneasy fear whenever Dad’s at home. Her pretty, sweet mum is equally subject to Dad’s tirades.

Eventually, after an unbearable birthday party and a very real fear that Dad’s temper is out of control, Mum and Beauty run away. Very soon Mum and Beauty find themselves in an idyllic seaside resort where their new-found freedom and a moment of culinary inspiration give them a hobby, an income and even a new nickname for Beauty. Soon all Beauty’s dreams come true – and she deserves it!
