Her mum didnt want her and so Tracey concocts romantic stories about her being in Hollywood.

Tracey calls it the DUMPING GROUND

DS loves those books and TV show

ds1 is an addict too
we have seen all the episodes a million times over and he never tires of it!

just seen this thread. My kids love it but I have had to explain about childrens homes and fo stering etc. I don't like it but I think the format of her fantasy world in cartoon really appeals to kids.

my kids are hooked too. Sometimes I think they wish they could be dumped as it seems so idylic!

her mum is actually an actress [well stunt double]and in the film ..out on video/dvd it was on tv she comes back and blah blah blah,,gives tracy her blesssing to go live with cam [foster mum]..........i know this as have 2 of my dds obbsessed with jaquerline wilson! the authhor of the books

Does anyone else have a problem with this programme, or am I turning into an old fogey? My (nearly) 8 year old son is coming out with the attitude and backchat, all courtesy of the TB script.

sorry but it could be due to the fact he is turning 8!!!!
