Amazon.co.uk Review
What a life poor Georgia Nicolson leads! For a start her mother, in between squeezing into tight crop tops and thrusting her bazoomas at the hunky George-Clooney-lookalike doctor, is trying to drag Gerogia off to New Zealand. But how can she go to New Zealand when there's a sex god (SG) to snog and the persistent lesbian rumours to fend off? After discovering "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", Georgia and her friend Jas have constructed a clever way of getting SG back from Wet Lindsay. Neither are quite sure how it works, but it involves boys stretching like elastic bands (or something) and using Laughing Dave as a Red Herring. Add the psychotic cat Angus into the mix, a liberal helping of hyperactive sister Libby and a truly bizarre roll call of teachers and it's no wonder Georgia has turned to Buddhism (but it's so hard to be a Buddhist when Mr Next Door keeps wandering around in his shorts and distracting her). Georgia Nicolson is one of the funniest comic creations in children's fiction and Ms Rennison has dreamt up another fantastically funny outing for this loveable teenage girl. Her voice is constantly authentic throughout as she blunders her way through personal trauma after personal trauma, dealt with her in her own inimitable and hilarious style.

This a welcome follow-up to Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging; all the major players are back and on top form and Rennison gives us plenty of new characters to plague and torment. Georgia's friendship with best mate Jas is painfully funny and deeply felt and, despite the fact that they fall out every two seconds, their love for each other is obvious. In short, this is probably the funniest read of the year. Move over Adrian Mole--your competition has well and truly arrived. --Jonathan Weir

Synopsis
Georgia's protestations on being forced to emigrate to New Zealand with her parents are so successful that soon she's on her way back to Britain to stay with her grandparents. Her life becomes even more mad than when she stayed with her parents.

You'll Laugh Your Pants/Thongs Off!
Move over Bridget Jones and step aside Adrian Mole, because anyone who’s ever been a teenager will be chortling to these hilarious award-winning diaries of Georgia Nicholson. This gregarious girl’s confessions make some of the most honestly funny reading published for teenagers (and those of us just a ‘tad’ older, well, young enough to remember those angst-ridden years!) Both books, (spanning a single year each), and part of a collection of four, capture the frustrations and flirtations of those torturous teenage years with so much hilarity and at such a fast pace that you’re left breathless by the time you reach the end of the book.
Georgia has all the usual problems – a stubborn spot on her nose, sadistic teachers, an incontinent younger sister and an uncontrollable pet Scottish wildcat (alias Angus). Her parents might be splitting up or shipping them all out to ‘Kiwi-a-gogo land’ (New Zealand) and she still doesn’t know how to kiss properly. She recounts these traumas with a sense of irony and deadpan wit. This muddle-headed, drama teen-queen had me giggling out loud. I could feel myself blush aimlessly and cringing with recognition to similar emotions and events that were, at the time, the only reason for living and breathing – boys and make-up - and stopping at nothing to claim that ‘gorgey’ sex god. Thank God I have acquired a certain dignity and decorum now beyond those early attempts of desperation. In other words, I’ve found that devilish partner-in-crime and am doing the time. Mind you, he wouldn’t notice if I shaved off my eyebrows and took up wearing leg warmers again. (It was the mid-eighties - the years not degrees).
These are delicious dairies full of thrills, spills and hilarious escapades, amply titled with a dazzling set of wicked catchphrases. Further published confessions of Georgia are: ‘Knocked Out By My Nunga-Nungas’ (if only) and ‘Dancing In My Nuddy-Pants’ (never). An introduction to Georgia is like being introduced to a really good and funny friend without the mood swings. Ideal for confident readers aged twelve and over (and older chicks for a trip down memory lane). You’ll laugh your pants/thongs off.
