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.\n Meet Adrian Mole, a hapless teenager providing an unabashed, pimples-and-all glimpse into adolescent life. \nWriting 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. \nPraise for Adrian Mole (and by extension, Sue Townsend): \n'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\n'A satire of our times. Very funny indeed' Sunday Times\n'We laugh both at Mole and with him. A wonderful comic read, that, like all the best comedy, says something rather meaningful' Heat\n-----\nSue Townsend is Britain's favourite comic author. Her hugely successful novels include eight Adrian Mole books, as well as The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman (Aged 55¾), Number Ten, Ghost Children, The Queen and I, Queen Camilla and The Woman Who Went to Bed For a Year, all of which are highly acclaimed bestsellers. She also wrote numerous well-received plays.","brand":"Penguin Random House Children's UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543935549728,"sku":"9780241331224","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780241331224.jpg?v=1780780429","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-secret-diary-of-adrian-mole-aged-13-sue-townsend-9780241331224","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
