Book Talk: Wrap Back to the Title Technique
What is a teenage girl to do?
Fourteen year old Georgia Nicolson is trying to deal with many complicated matters. Her parents are planning a move to New Zealand; her best friend Jas is dating the brother of her sworn enemy, and love interest, Robbie; her cat Angus is extremely volatile and torments her neighbor's dog; and school is intolerable. Oh yeah, and her nose is too big.
Told with wit and humor, we follow Georgia as she tries to navigate through adolescence. Georgia's awkward first kisses, fights with friends and her relationship with her family are just a few of the topics covered in this coming of age novel.
Will Georgia survive school? Will she move to New Zealand? Will Robbie fall in love with her? All of these answers are revealed in Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging.
