Away Laughing on a Fast Camel

July 25, 2005
In PW, 's words, "The laugh-a-minute heroine from Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging, returns for a fifth installment. With her boyfriend away in New Zealand, Georgia finds a singer from "Spaghetti-a-gogo land" (Italy to the rest of us) who rekindles her interest in boys. Ages 14-up.

This book is true fabulosity! I mean, how often do you find a groovy story about a trs chic English girl? She's stuck in Stalag 14 (an all-girls school) and living a life of pain because The Sex God (her boyfriend) moved to Kiwi-a-go-go-land (New Zealand). Then the most gorgie (gorgeous) boy arrives in town--and he's Italian! Despite her humiliating lurker (pimple) and sticky boy entrancers (false eyelashes), our heroine sets out to win his heart. Or at least to snog (kiss) him. The marvy author reads with the spirit and voice of a fab teenager. She must be an olds (grown-up), but she's got wisdomocity. Smashing! N.M.C.
