Confessions of Georgia Nicolson
Confessions of Georgia Nicolson
A year in journal tells the life of a fourteen-year-old British girl who tries to reduce the size of her nose, stop her mad cat from terrorizing the neighborhood animals, and win the love of handsome hunk Robbie. Think Bridget Jones' younger sister. The book is part of a hilarious series by Louise Rennison.
