Tracy Beaker is the lead character in the Tracy Beaker franchise.[1] After first appearing as the main character in Jacqueline Wilson's 1991 book The Story of Tracy Beaker, she appeared in the popular children's television drama of the same name, portrayed by Dani Harmer,[2] and its sequel series Tracy Beaker Returns, as well as numerous spin-offs, Jacqueline Wilson books, a play and a video game.

In her first appearances in the Tracy Beaker books and in the television series The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy lives in care at a care home referred to as 'The Dumping Ground'. She has a wild imagination and regularly breaks rules. As such, she is considered a bad role model by parents. In Tracy Beaker Returns, she works as a careworker at the Dumping Ground. She is mentioned a number of times in the spin-off The Dumping Ground, before making a guest appearance in two episodes of the sixth series.

Tracy is Wilson's most popular character; however she is not Wilson's personal favourite.[3] The Tracy Beaker books were the most-loaned books from public libraries in the United Kingdom between 2000 and 2010.

Tracy returns to the Dumping Ground, after being kicked out of Ted and Julie's house because there was a new baby on the way and Tracy has a horrible history with babies. Angrily, she packs her things to stay only to see her best friend, Louise (Chelsie Padley) being friends with Justine Littlewood (Montanna Thompson). She becomes even more infuriated after discovering that Justine has been given her old bedroom whilst Tracy was away being fostered. Instantly, she becomes Justine's worst enemy and breaks (by sneaking into her room) Justine's clock which her dad got for her. In an attempt to escape from the Dumping Ground, she meets her new friend, Ben Batambuze, who says that he lives on the streets, they keep on chatting and instantly become friends in the process as they walk along the streets together happily and she is impressed with the large quantities of chocolate she is given by him.

Tracy meets Cam Lawson (Lisa Coleman), a struggling author, as there is not much activity in the Dumping Ground and Tracy is extremely excited, but is upset when Justine has to dampen her spirits and wears makeup, from Adele, to impress her, with disastrous results. She does this by bribing her. Since she is an author and Tracy loves writing, she wants to make a first good impression on her and ends up having a fight with Justine, as she provoked her, making them embarrassed as Cam watches the whole thing. Cam, who has still not decided whether or not to foster her. Banned from phoning her, Tracy enlists Ben's help to go to see Cam in person. When they arrive at her flat, Cam is out, so Tracy and Ben rearrange the furniture, play music and eat chocolate. When Cam gets home, she is furious and takes Tracy back. Tracy later apologies for breaking into her flat, and Cam says that she is still considering fostering her. Cam asks Tracy to move in with her. Tracy agrees, packs straight away and has a lovely goodbye from all the staff and children.

Series 2 (2003)[edit]

Tracy lands back at the Dumping Ground after setting fire to Cam's kitchen. After this incident, Tracy refuses to talk to Cam, so Elaine (Nisha Nayar) resolves to get them talking with a series of role-play and trust exercises. Whilst Elaine briefly leaves the room, Tracy and Cam sneak off and Tracy decides to show Cam what it's like to 'be her', which culminates in a disappearance at the shops to indicate how she felt when Cam left her. As the episode ends, their friendship is back on track. Tracy meets Ben's Aunt and Uncle, Kate and Jasper, who decide that they want to foster her. Tracy is initially ecstatic about this, only to learn that living with Kate and Jasper would mean moving to Scotland – far away from the DG, her best friend Ben and of course, Cam. In the end Tracy decides to go to Scotland, but only for a holiday.

Biography[edit]

'Tracy is so outrageous. It's great to invent somebody who is far bolder than you would ever be yourself. I do think she's got an excuse for bad behaviour, though, because she's had a really tough life. If Tracy didn't have this total determination to survive and get her own back on people, she would be an extra-specially sad soul.'

Jacqueline Wilson[4]

Tracy Beaker is introduced as a ten-year-old girl living in a children's residential care home nicknamed the 'Dumping Ground'. The nickname is explained in The Story of Tracy Beaker as being where children in care are 'dumped' when they are 'past their sell-by date'. She has been described as a modern heroine, with regular looks and curly brown hair. It is revealed that she has been placed in care not because she is an orphan but owing to her mother not being good at looking after her. Tracy imagines that her mother is a Hollywood Star who will collect her one day.[5] Carly Beaker, who is Tracy's mum, really is a film star but does stunts as revealed in Tracy Beaker's Movie of Me. Her personality has been described as bossy and rebellious, whilst likable and creative.[6][7] She has been estranged from her mother for a long period and regularly disagrees with the staff and children at the Dumping Ground. On top of this she has been rejected by two sets of foster parents, one time because the couple looking after her were about to have a baby and couldn't keep Tracy with them, much to her upset.[5]

Adaptations[edit]

Originally introduced in the book The Story of Tracy Beaker, to date the character has appeared in two further books, The Dare Game and Starring Tracy Beaker. She has also appeared in Red Nose Day special called Tracy Beaker's Thumping Heart.

In 2002, the BBC made a children's series based on the books, The Story of Tracy Beaker, starring Dani Harmer as Tracy. The programme ran for five series on CBBC and included a one-off feature-length movie, Tracy Beaker's Movie of Me. Harmer first took on the role at the age of 12 and has maintained it for 10 years.[5] The character returned for an additional three series of Tracy Beaker Returns, in which an adult Tracy Beaker helps a new generation of kids at the Dumping Ground.[5]

The character has also appeared in a stage adaptation of the book, Tracy Beaker Gets Real, starring Sarah Churm as Tracy. It was written by Mary Morris, one of the writers of the TV series.[6] Like the television series, the set used elements of cartoon themes, similar to the illustrations in the books.[7]

In 2009, Tracy Beaker became a video game character in Tracy Beaker: The Game on Nintendo DS and PC. The game, described as 'bookish', involves reading large portions of text to make choices for the character.[8]

Reception[edit]

Similar to Wilson's other characters, Tracy Beaker is a child from a difficult background, dealing with her issues in a cynical manner and with lots of yelling. The character elicits strong feelings from both children and parents and, as she struggles to come to terms with her situation, she regularly breaks rules.[5] Her fanbase is primarily girls between 8 and 14, as 90% of those who turn up to Jaqueline Wilson's book signings are in that group. However, the books are also on reading lists for schools, so boys will be involved in the classroom.[8]The Story of Tracy Beaker has been UK libraries' most-loaned book between 2000 and 2010.[9]

In its description of Tracy, an article for the Herald Scotland states: 'Though her life is bleak, Tracy is funny, imaginative, articulate and hopeful, like all Wilson's heroines.'[10] A Liverpool Echo article describes Tracy as 'a heroine – a cult character who could be played by any actress.'[11] Winifred Robinson, writing in a Daily Mail editorial, criticised the character and suggested that behaviour such as her outbursts were influencing children to act in a similar manner. She also criticised the complexity of the emotions expressed by Tracy, as they were being repeated by other children who cannot understand them; for example, the suggestion that they are deprived because they do not have enough sweets. Robinson finishes by criticising Jaqueline Wilson's form, where adults who are trying to help are undermined by the children along with books with largely adult themes.[12]
