The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole is the second book in Sue
Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series. Sunday July 18th
My father announced at breakfast that he is going to have a
vasectomy. I pushed my sausages away untouched. In this second
instalment of teenager Adrian Mole's diaries, the Mole family is in
crisis and the country is beating the drum of war. While his
parents have reconciled after both embarked on disastrous affairs,
Adrian is shocked to learn of his mother's pregnancy. And even
though at the mercy of his rampant hormones and the fickle whims of
the divine Pandora, a victim of a broken home and his own tortured
(though unrecognised) genius, Adrian continues valiantly to
chronicle the pains and pleasures of a misspent adolescence.
________ 'Funny, moving and a poke in the eye for adult morality'
Sunday Express '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 'Life's no fun for an adolescent
intellectual. For the reader it's a hoot' New Statesman

Loved these books when I was younger and the series has gotten my son to enjoy reading for pleasure. So worth the wait. Will be purchasing the remainder of the series too.
