THE JESS PACK: NO ADULTS ALLOWED!

It’s been 27 years since we first met the legendary – and now, she’s back in MY MUM TRACY BEAKER!

In this brand-new book, Tracy Beaker is now a mum (yep!) to young Jess – and they are the perfect team! Tracy is still fun and daring, but she also works hard to give Jess the family home she desperately wanted when growing up in . But when Sean Godfrey – Tracy’s SUPER rich new boyfriend – comes onto the scene, Jess is worried things are going to change . . .

We can’t think of a better excuse for a party than the return of Tracy Beaker, and the arrival of a brand-new Jacqueline Wilson character – Jess Beaker!

In THE JESS PACK: NO ADULTS ALLOWED, young readers will find everything they need to throw a right Beaker bash with their friends to celebrate My Mum Tracy Beaker, the wonderful world of Tracy Beaker and our new friend, Jess!

There’s just one rule at this party
