Hello i am an 11 year old girl i am Beckie  Tate. I hate my name but my parents refuse to change it. I want to have a lovely name like every other girl in my class i always want to make the right impression but someone always spoils it. I am so glad that i am an only child. Nobody can ruin my life at home. My  mum is Lucy and my dad is Pete. Us 3 live together in a wonderful stone cottage. Its in the countryside and i love going out for picnics with my parents but when i was 8 they both got new jobs.

My  mum is now an author and she  writes wonderful stories about  fairies. My dad is now an illustrator and illustrates my mums books.They are a wonderful pair. I am the inspiration for each fairy. I am always being compared to each story and drawing. My dad sits drawing hours upon end. whilst my mum scribbles ideas into her notebooks. I am alone most days after school so i meet my friend Annie in the fields. We play together for ages but after dinner i am not allowed out so i sit in silence reading or sewing. Waiting for a Moment to be together as a family. But i am forgotten.

I have never realised until now how much i am alone. I have always wanted to be in a family where i had brother or a sister. I didn't even have a cousin.I was the only child in my family. I wanted to escape. To be with people who cared. When i was in bed i dreamed about a girl escaping from home.
