Stop in the Name of Pants!

Stina Nielsen channels her inner prima donna for another foray into the teenage mind of Brit Georgia Nicolson. With Nielsen's effervescent narration, Georgia's summer escapades come to life, including international phone calls to the Italian-stallion "love god" Masimo and Viking-era interpretive dances with her gal pals. Nielsen perfectly captures Georgia's teenage mood swings and impatience with adult sensibilities. Nine books into the series, there's still something fresh and fun here. Different voices, as well as variation in pace and tone, ensure that Georgia's friends remain distinct throughout the hectic social whirl. C.A.
