Story
Beauty Cookson is no beauty. She's a plain, timid girl who constantly feels inferior to the super-confident, snooty girls at school. Worse than the teasing in the playground, though, is the unpredictable, hurtful criticism from her father. Beauty and her meek, sweet mother live in uneasy fear of his fierce rages, sparked whenever they break one of his fussy house rules.

What I thought of the story
I like the most part of the story but I don't like Tanya because she is a theif but she is a good friend to Mandy. I don't think I have a favourite character in this story although I love the idea of doing all the different voices of the characters

Would not allow another of the author unsupervised
Some of the content was unsettling, derogatory sexual remarks from 9 year old kids about a 14 year old girl. Suicide mentioned a lot. Maybe a bit dated. Not sure the age group that could read it unsupervised would be interested in it.

Amazing audio book . Though the thing that bothered me was that Josie Lawrence had a surprisingly good British Accent which I'm not used to.Apart from that this Audible was fabulous!!
