Beauty Cookson is plain and timid, and all the super-confident and snooty girls at school think her name is ridiculous and tease her horribly.
Worse than the taunting in the playground, though, is her father's constant, hurtful criticism. Beauty and her mum live in fear of Dad's fierce rages - spark off when they break one of his fussy house rules or suggest something 'silly' like getting a pet. But Beauty's Mum adores her, and does her best to keep Beauty happy despite of all the tension and shouting.
After Beauty's disastrous birthday party, Dad's temper seems to be out of control. Are Mum and Beauty brave enough to leave and start a sweeter new life?
A charming, page turning story of family life, friendship and cookies from bestselling Jacqueline Wilson.

Beauty Cookson相貌平平,胆小怕事,学校里所有超级自信、自大的女孩都觉得她的名字很可笑,还经常取笑她。
然而,比在操场上嘲笑更糟糕的是她父亲不断的、伤害性的批评。Beauty和她的妈妈一直生活在对爸爸暴怒的恐惧中——当他们违反了爸爸挑剔的家规,或者提出一些“愚蠢的”建议,比如养宠物时,他们就会勃然大怒。但是Beauty的妈妈很喜欢她,她尽自己最大的努力让Beauty开心,尽管有紧张和吵架。在Beauty灾难性的生日派对之后,爸爸的脾气似乎失控了。妈妈和Beauty是否有足够的勇气离开,开始更甜蜜的新生活?
这本书由畅销作家杰奎琳·威尔逊撰写,讲述了家庭生活、友谊和饼干的动人故事。
