TV star gives voice to Tracy Beaker follow-up

Sheridan Smith has narrated an audiobook edition of one of author Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s stories.

The Gavin And Stacey star said it was “an honour” to record We Are the Beaker Girls.

The book is the sequel to 2018’s successful My Mum Tracy Beaker.

Dame Jacqueline first wrote The Story Of Tracy Beaker to shine a light on what the experiences might be for children in care, and We Are the Beaker Girls sees one of the nation’s most-loved literary heroines come fullcircle and consider fostering herself.

The author said: “I’m thrilled that Sheridan has recorded the audiobook.

The Tracy Beaker books have together sold more than 3.5 million copies.

We Are the Beaker Girls audiobook will be published on 17 October.
