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 who 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. 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!
