 Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging
By Louise Rennison
Georgia Nicholson is a 14-year-old girl with a cute, but wacky, 4-year-old little sister and a cat named Angus who is part Scottish Wildcat. Rennison captures the angst and humor of the average life of a normal girl – striking the balance between life at home and at school and just growing up. This series is written as a set of diary entries describing Georgia’s life and adventures with her best friends, the Ace Gang. Although Georgia lives in England, there is a slang glossary at the end of each book, and her trials and tribulations translates well to American teenaged life. If you enjoy funny books, this series is for you! The books are suitable for teens --even adults!
