The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole. An enthralling sequel to the hilarious, touching and hugely popular The Secrec diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4
The first volume of Adrian Mole's diary took him to his fifteenth birthday and a humiliating accident to his nose with a model aeroplane and some glue. This new book takes up where the previous diary left off...
Sunday May 9th: I have just realized that I have never seen a dead body or a real female nipple. This is what comes of living in a cul-de-sac.
Thursday July 1st: Nigel has arranged for me to have a blind date with Sharon Botts. I am meeting her at the rollerskating rink on Saturday. I am dead nervous. I don't know how to roller-skate, let alone make love.
Life in the Mole family is turbulent and full of surprises. As Adrian comments on New Year's Eve, 'If my father announced that he was really a Russian agent or my mother ran away with a circus knife-thrower I wouldn't raise an eyebrow..."
"Written with great verve and showing an uncanny understanding of the young, Sue Townsend holds the balance between innocence and precocity and the result is both hilarious and salutary.'
Daily Telegraph
The new book takes up the diary where the last left off, and is quite as classic.'
