She tries to fit in, but she's plain and awkward. All the girls at school make fun of her and have nicknamed her Ugly. Her mother thinks she needs a fun, creative nickname, something like . . . Cookie! But kids at school can't just be told to call her Cookie. And, even worse, her Dad doesn't approve. His already bad temper reaches frightening new heights. Will Cookie find the strength to stand up to her dad? And will she find a way to be the person she wants to be?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Wilson's extraordinary strength is the reliable, deeply comforting nature of her fiction, in which tough subjects are made approachable for younger readers. . . . Sharratt's trademark illustrations lend their own kind of comfort by giving a quick graphic preview of what's to come in each chapter." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><p>"Wilson's talent shows again in this novel with strong, compelling characters and a plot that makes the book hard to put down." --<i>School Library Journal</i></p><p>"Dame Wilson's fluid mastery of realistic family-and-friend problems is clear in this title, and, as Wilson's previous books, Sharratt's cartoon-style illustrations introduce and foreshadow the action in each chapter." --<i>Booklist</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>JACQUELINE WILSON is the author of 100 books, including <i>Candyfloss</i> and <i>Best Friends</i> (both available from Square Fish).
