Cookie’s real name is Beauty. Her Dad is successful, but he’s quite a jerk. It is painful to witness, but not dark. Her mother, Dilly, is a young trophy wife, Dad’s third marriage. People often think Dilly and Beauty are sisters. All that, the first half of the book, culminates in a striking, 5-star chapter that takes place on Beauty’s birthday. The second half of the book changes tone - you’ll be happy for Beauty and her mother. In fact, Dilly grows as a person during the course of the story, which was an interesting bonus. Their mother/daughter relationship is fascinating, actually, because Beauty is brainier than her mother.The Illustrated Mum". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 7 May 2014 .

Cool Big Sis: Angela acts as one to Beauty; she's around fourteen, making her several years older than Beauty. Angela sits next to her on the bus and takes her to her classroom on her first day at her new school, doing her best to reassure Beauty and making her feel welcomed. I also feel that the character of Beauty's father was particularly well portrayed. He obviously felt a certain amount of love and affection for his daughter and wife, and wasn't only a villain. However, he was capable of some truly awful things. It was nice to see a character in a younger child's book rendered in many different shades of grey.

PJ is a bit lopsided-looking, but Beauty loves the doll because her mother took the time to make it for her and tends to hug her for comfort. In contrast, Beauty's father splurges on a giant pink rabbit from Harrod's for her birthday; Beauty finds it hideous and it's far too big to play with or hold close, showing how her father doesn't really know her and cares more about flashing his money around than getting something his daughter really likes. Sweet Baker: Dilly is a kindhearted and optimistic cookie-baker, who is particularly devoted to ensuring her daughter is safe and happy. urn:lcp:cookie00jacq:epub:e2ee3a96-5b58-493a-b47d-a9191272a5f0 Extramarc University of Alberta Libraries Foldoutcount 0 Identifier cookie00jacq Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t55f01t5s Isbn 9780385615501 The Bed and Breakfast Star by Jacqueline Wilson - review".
