Adrian Mole 

An enthralling sequel to the hilarious, touching and hugely popular The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4The 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 realised 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 May 13th: Yesterday... I was a normal type of intellectual teenager. Today I know what it is to suffer... I love her! Oh God! Pandora!...Saturday May 22nd: My father has just asked me if I would like a sister or a brother. I said neither. Why do they keep drivelling on about kids? I hope they aren't thinking of adopting one. They are terrible parents. Look at me. I'm a complete neurotic...Thursday July 1st: Nigel has arranged for me to have a blind date with Sharon Botts. I am meeting her at the roller skating rink on Saturday. I am dead nervous. I don't know how to roller-skate, let alone make love ...Thursday December 9th: My tribute to Queenie has caused a stir. People have said it's in bad taste and have complained that it doesn't rhyme. Must I live amongst uneducated peasants for the rest of my life?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...'Sue Townsend's further portrait of the agonies of family life is even more painfully accurate and richly comic than the first.
