Cookie

A wonderful new tale of family life, friendship and cookies from the mega
bestselling Jacqueline Wilson.

.

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! A charming, page-turning and heart-warming story from
this beloved author.
