Stop in the Name of Pants! by Louise RennisonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My inner monologue often sounds like Georgia Nicholson. I think in phrases like "ditherspazz" and "erlack a pongoes". I think Georgia lives in my head, barely suppressed and occasionally allowed out to run rampant and leave a path of hyperactive destruction in her wake. These are some of the funniest books I have ever read. They shatter the "laugh out loud on the bus scale" - mostly because they have ridiculous titles and covers, so everyone is already looking at me. And I just cackle. Georgia is nuts, her family is bananas and her adventures are delicious. A British, teenage Stephanie Plum, speaking in pure slang and barely holding it together. My pubescent hero.
