The Story of Tracy Beaker Quotes

“She really liked me, little Camilla. A family picked her to be their foster child quick as a wink. I begged her foster mom and dad to bring her back to see me but they never did.”

“There’s not much point making friends because I expect to be moving on soon.”

“Best of all I like being with my mom.”

“I like my mom because she’s pretty and good fun and she brings me lovely presents.”

“Most of all I hate Justine. That Monster Gorilla. And not seeing my mom.”

“My best friend is... well I’ve had lots and lots, but Louise has gone off with Justine and now I haven’t got anyone just at the moment.”

“I was so mad I smashed up the bike so I don’t even have that anymore. And now I’m in a new children’s home and they’ve advertised me in the papers but there weren’t many takers and now I think they’re getting a bit desperate.”

“I can’t stand fairy tales. They’re all the same. If you’re very good and very beautiful with long golden curls, then, after you’ve swept up a few cinders or had a long nap in a cobwebby palace, this prince comes along and you live happily ever after. Which is fine if you happen to be a goody-goody and look gorgeous. But if you’re bad and ugly then you’ve got no chance whatsoever.”

“I don’t have a dad. I lived with my mom when I was little and we got on great but then she got this Monster Gorilla Boyfriend and I hated him and he hated me back and beat me up and so I had to be taken away to a children’s home.”

“And we do Projects, only I never have the right stuff at the Home so I can’t do it properly and get a star.”
