false 402013 34 She has a precocious 3-year-old sister who tends to leave wet nappies at the foot of her bed, an insane cat who is prone to leg-shredding "Call of the Wild" episodes, and embarrassing parents who make her want to escape to Stonehenge and dance with the Druids. No wonder 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson laments, "Honestly, what is the point?" A Bridget Jones for the younger set, Georgia records the momentous events of her life--and they are all momentous--in her diary, which serves as a truly hilarious account of what it means to be a modern girl on the cusp of womanhood. No matter that her particular story takes place in England, the account of her experiences rings true across the ocean (and besides, "Georgia's Glossary" swiftly eradicates any language barriers). The author, Louise Rennison, is a British comedy writer and it shows. Whether Georgia is dealing with wearing a bra ("OK, it's a bit on the loose side and does ride up round my neck if I run for the bus"), pondering kissing and how to know which way to turn your head ("You don't want to be bobbing around like pigeons for hours"), or managing the results of an overzealous eyebrow-plucking episode ("Obviously, now I have to stay in forever"), she always cracks us up. Georgia struggles with the myriad issues facing teen girls--boys, of course being at the forefront--but she does it with such humor and honesty it almost seems like a good time. This refreshingly funny book is ripe for a sequel, which readers will await in droves. <I>--Brangien Davis</I> 108471 1999 Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson Book 1) total:5182|5:71|4:75|3:93|2:16|1:4| 5182 20273 6541 814 5 5 false false Sun Jun 24 13:38:47 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 09:56:59 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 5 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Aug 15 18:44:45 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 20:14:34 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Wed Nov 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 10:57:20 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 18:52:52 -0800 2008 Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicholson.
