Adrian Mole, with his spots, his feckless, self-centred,
incompetent parents and his yearning for the tantalizing, difficult
Pandora is one of the great comic characters. Most teenagers will
probably identify with something in his diary entries - if they can
get it back from their parents! (Kirkus UK)
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 is the first book in
Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series. Friday January
2nd I felt rotten today. It's my mother's fault for singing 'My
Way' at two o'clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just
my luck to have a mother like her. There is a chance my parents
could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children's home.
Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed,
pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. Writing candidly
about his parents' marital troubles, the dog, his life as a
tortured poet and 'misunderstood intellectual', Adrian's painfully
honest diary is still hilarious and compelling reading thirty years
after it first appeared. Bestselling author Sue Townsend has been
Britain's favourite comic writer for over three decades. 'I not
only wept, I howled and hooted and had to get up and walk around
the room and wipe my eyes so that I could go on reading' Tom Sharpe
'A satire of our times. Very funny indeed' Sunday Times 'We laugh
both at Mole and with him. A wonderful comic read, that, like all
the best comedy, says something rather meaningful' Heat Sue

Year, all of which are highly acclaimed bestsellers. She has also

she was born and grew up.
