Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, by Louise Rennison (Young Adult)Angus is the slightly mad cat of our heroine, Georgia Nicolson, thongs are perfectly stupid underwear, and full-frontal snogging is kissing with all the trimmings. With that explanation out of the way, this is the diary of Georgia Nicolson, an extremely entertaining and funny young lady, although I doubt she considers her tribulations funny. Angus alone is enough reason to read this book. His stalking of the neighbors' poodle and anything else that dares to approach his domain is hysterical. Not to be outdone, Georgia's attempt at plucking eyebrows, (Georgia abandons tweezers and tries her father's electric razor), is one of the funniest episodes I've read. This rollicking romp through adolescence even comes with a glossary for any terms, like snogging, that might confuse the American mind.
