Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging (Georgia Nicolson #1)

Brilliantly funny, teenage angst author Louise Rennison's first book about the confessions of crazy but lovable Georgia Nicolson. Now repackaged in a gorgeous new paperback and looking even fatter than ever. Louise is an international best-selling author and her books can't fail to make you laugh out loud. There are six things very wrong with my life: I have one of those under-the-skin spots that will never come to a head but lurk in a red way for the next two years; it is on my nose; I have a three-year-old sister who may have peed somewhere in my room; in fourteen days the summer hols will be over and then it will be back to Stalag 14 and Oberfuhrer Frau Simpson and her bunch of sadistic 'teachers'; I am very ugly and need to go into an ugly home; I went to a party dressed as a stuffed olive. Follow Georgia's hilarious antics as she tries to overcome the dilemma's that are weighing up against her, and muddle her way through teenage life and all that it entails: how to replace accidentally shaved-off eyebrows; how to cope with Angus, her small labrador-sized Scottish wildcat; her first kiss with Peter - afterwards known as Whelk Boy; annoying teachers; unsympathetic friends and family; and how to entice Robbie the Sex God! Phew - she's really got her work cut out! Author Biography Louise Rennison lives in Brighton. She is the internationally bestselling author of the angst-filled confessions of Georgia Nicolson. Following the success of her one-woman autobiographical show, Stevie Wonder Felt my Face (Edinburgh Festival Awards & BBC 2 Special) Louise has written for many comedy stars. She has reported for the John Peel Show, was a regular on Woman's Hour and a columnist for the London Evening Standard magazine. Critical Reviews Kirkus Reviews UK Written in diary mode, the self-obsessed observations of teenager Georgia Nicolson are very funny and not a little outrageous. The 'Angus' of the title is her mad wild ginger cat who terrorises the neighbour's poodle; the 'thongs' are what the girlfriend of the sex-god she is in love with wears; and 'full-frontal snogging' is what she dreams of experiencing. In addition, she has to put up with little sister Libby, an incontinent toddler, and parents who don't appear to understand her. Not surprisingly this caused controversy when it was shortlisted for 9-11 category of the Smarties Award. (13 yrs +) (Kirkus UK)
