The Story of Tracy Beaker
Tracy Beaker is by far the most popular of all the characters I've ever invented. How she would love to know that! She would just glory in the fact that there are now three books about her, a very popular long-running television series, a magazine, a musical, and all sorts of merchandising, from pyjamas to pencil cases!
Tracy's always been a very special character to me too, because The Story of Tracy Beaker was the first book of mine illustrated by Nick Sharratt. I knew I wanted to have lots of amusing black and white drawings within the text, as if Tracy had done them all herself whilst writing her own story. My editor said he knew the ideal illustrator and arranged for me to meet Nick at the publishers.
Nick and I greeted each other politely and made small talk, both of us feeling very shy. I liked Nick very much but my one worry was that he wasn't quite wild and wacky enough to draw like my totally weird Tracy.
