In her first appearances in the Tracy Beaker books and in the television series The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy lives in Foster care at a care home referred to as "The Dumping Ground". She has a wild imagination and regularly breaks the rules. As such, she is considered a bad role-model by parents. In Tracy Beaker Returns, she works as a care worker at the Dumping Ground. She is mentioned a number of times in the spin-off The Dumping Ground, before making a guest appearance in two episodes of the sixth series. The Tracy Beaker books were the most-loaned books from public libraries in the United Kingdom between 2000 and 2010.
