In the end, she doesn’t seem to mind it so much, after meeting a girl with an equally embarrassing first name: Princess. Together, they decide to form an Unusual Names Club.

All recipes were explained well with easily accessible ingredients and I enjoyed all the author's personal comments that preceded her recipes. This book is for… both those who seek the easy but enchanting and those in the mood for some extravaganza. Honorary Aunt: Avril is this to Beauty (she being Beauty's father's first ex-wife, who is on good terms with Beauty's mother). She refers to her as "Auntie Avril" and mentions she always buys her good birthday gifts. She also lets Beauty and Dilly stay at her house temporarily after they leave Gerry. Konnie Huq is a brilliant, funny, sparkling star-burst of delight and ideas and positive energy. I am so excited that she's started writing novels.' - Victoria Coren Mitchell This is one of my favourite Jacqueline Wilson books, and I think Beauty is one of my favourite of her characters too - I find her very relatable, especially her vivid imagination, her awkwardness, and her love of Sara Crewe from 'A Little Princess'.

About Author

Cookie begs her parents for a pet to fill the void but they have given her an absolute NO. It would be way too expensive and way way too messy. But Cookie has never been a fan of the word 'no' so she visits the pet shop anyway and sets her heart on the sweetest cutest kitteniest kitten ever: Bluey. That hand crushing the bunny cookie is a good warning that this book is a lot more depressing than its cover suggests.
