Cookie

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.

i really liked this book because it was a mix of funny,sad,drama and happiness.My favourite character in the book was beauty cooksen ( cookie) because she was harsh on herself but in a funny way.The characters i hated the most were beauty’s dad and beauty’s word enemy Skye.I didn’t like Skye because she was calling Beauty names like Ugly just because she was fat and also i didn’t like Skye because she always wants everything to be about her and she always finds a way to make it all about her.The reason why i dint like beaut’s dad is because he gave Beauty her silly name,he always shouted at her and beauty’s mum
