Description

Winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2010 - The first book in the hilarious series from the original Queen of Teen. You'll laugh your tights off . . .

Picture the scene: Dother Hall Performing Arts College ,somewhere Up North, surrounded by rolling dales, bearded cheesemaking villagers (male and female) and wildlife of the squirrely-type.

On the whole, it's not quite the showbiz experience Tallulah was expecting... but once her mates turn -p and they start their 'FAME! I'm gonna liiiiive foreeeeeever, I'm gonna fill my tiiiiights' summer course things are bound to perk up. Especially when the boys arrive. (When DO the boys arrive?)

Six weeks of parent-free freedom. BOY freedom. Freedom of expression... cos it's the THEATRE dahling, theatre!

The hilarious misadventures of Tallulah Casey...



About the Author

Louise Rennison was a journalist, comedian and beloved author. In 1999, she introduced Georgia Nicolson to the world with ANGUS THONGS & FULL-FRONTAL SNOGGING - the first in a 10-book series. The book won the Nestle Smarties Book Prize Bronze Award and was adapted for film in 2008. In the same year, Louise was crowned Queen of Teen for the series, and in 2010, was awarded the Roald Dahl Funny Prize for WITHERING TIGHTS - the first in a spin-off following the hysterical misadventures of Georgia's cousin, Tallulah.

Sadly, Louise passed away in 2016 at 64-years-young. She left behind a legion of adoring readers who hold Georgia and the Ace Gang close to their hearts. Her books have been translated into 37 languages and have sold more than 2.6 million copies in the UK. Louise lives on through her cherished character Georgia - who was based on her own teen experiences. In Louise's and Georgia's own words: "He who laughs last, laughs the laughiest."

"Wickedly entertaining." - Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian

"It's all a hoot." - Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times

Praise for Confessions of Georgia Nicolson:

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
