This series will be all about how the Beaker Girls are loving their new life running the 'Dumping Ground' junk shop in the seaside town of Cooksea.

When Jordan, a runaway teen who has been repeatedly failed by the care system, finds her way into the Beaker Girls' cosy family, Tracy's life seems to have come full circle as she contemplates becoming a foster parent.

But Jess might not be so ready to share her mum.

The Story of Tracy Beaker was written and released by author, Jacqueline Wilson, in 1991.

It has sold over 1 million copies since and, in 2002, it was made into a television series on CBBC.

There have been several reboots since, including the most recent series, My Mum Tracy Beaker, which showed Tracy as a single mother now in her 30s, alongside daughter Jess.

More popular than ever, it seems people can't get enough of our Tracy!
