We Are The Beaker Girls by Jacqueline Wilson

In this second book of the new Tracy Beaker series focusing on her life out of care and with her own daughter Jess, we see how the seaside and antiques trade has really worked out for them after the disaster with footballer Sean.

However, Jess is worried about her mum getting back with Sean and her old friend Tyrone shows up and a surprise happens to do with him and Jess!

Meanwhile, Jess meets a strange boy or so she believes after he steals her ice cream but as Jess see's him around everywhere and gets to know him, a big secret is shared and the pair become quick friends as Jess tries to help out...

As well as all that, classic Tracy characters make a surprise appearance not just Cam and Justine but *spoiler* Peter and Adele in surprising ways!

It was a fabulous read and expertly crafted by Jacqueline I really loved how the characters have been successful despite their starts in life and how they get together again in shock surprise ways and the hint of possible romance between two of them as well I can't wait to see where that heads. Jacqueline has also made nods to modern society changes such as being gay which I don't recall being mentioned in previous books and Jess was a cheeky little character at times true to like her mum was too, a great read highly recommended!
