Juga, bagaimana perasaan Beauty, melihat Sang Ayah memperlakukan ibunya sebagai obyek pajangan dan makian. I read as I was cooking, and my daughter ended up going to bed an hour late because I just had to finish the book! Daisy's worst ever enemy Chloe is desperate to win back her friends so she announces she's going to have THE BEST SLEEPOVER IN THE WORLD. There were many points in the story that I loved, one being the main character, Beauty, being described as not being (conventionally) beautiful. At the school she makes friends and is nicknamed the Cookie Girl, but she still keeps in touch with Rhona by writing letters.For all the walking on eggshells, and the unpleasant bullying that Beauty suffers, both at school, and at home, I find this book utterly charming, and ultimately uplifting. Keberanian akhirnya bisa dimiliki oleh mama Beauty untuk menjauh dari kesulitan yang ditimbulkan ayahnya bahkan menjauh dari Happy Home mereka. It's so utterly tragic in the beginning, but Beauty's story still managed to be relatable because everyone's felt belittled even if it's just to a small degree. As a treat, the producers of Watchbox invite Sam, who tells Beauty that his rabbit, Lily, is pregnant. Eventually, after an unbearable birthday party and a very real fear that Dad's temper is out of control, Mum and Beauty run away.

The book talks about Beauty's ways of coping with her pressures, her dad's plans of an embarrassing birthday celebration, and her mom's idea of changing Beauty's nickname from "Ugly" to "Cookie. Despite her name, Beauty Cookson is a plain, timid girl who is nicknamed "ugly" by her peers at school, especially by her main bully, Skye. Rhona Marshall: The only classmate who is nice to Beauty but is unable to be her best friend as she already best friends with Skye though she wishes otherwise. Wilson's fluent style makes this an almost effortless read, but dark themes of domestic abuse and self-esteem are sensitively tackled in this redemptive tale of biscuits and rabbits. They fear it will both demoralise children reading below their age band, and encourage complacency in those reading above their age.Dilly does neither of those first two things and ends up happy and successful with her own flourishing business. And when I read the description, well, it kind of resonated with me, my mother was a total control freak, and Beauty felt like, well, me. She has also won numerous awards including the Guardian Children's Fiction Award for The Illustrated Mum; the Smarties Prize, the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the Children's Book Award for Double Act; The Young Telegraph/Fully Booked Award in 1995 for The Bed and Breakfast Star; and the 2002 Blue Peter People's Choice Award for The Story of Tracy Beaker. Beauty is asked to go on 'Watchbox', a talent show that Skye really wanted to be on, due to the rise in popularity of her mother's cookies.

However, Rhona desperately wants to be friends with Beauty, which she reveals one day when Skye is at a dentist appointment. Jaqueline Wilson wrote this story beautifully, fitting you in Beauty Cookson's shoes and being sad with her when she is bullied at school or when her dad is awful to her. Frequently berated for breaking his hyper-fussy house rules, as well as for her lack of looks, confidence and friends, Beauty lives in uneasy fear whenever Dad’s home.Her mother helps her cook up a clever scheme to change her image--but, as usual, Dad doesn't approve, and this time his anger reaches frightening new heights.
