Book Synopsis
The ORIGINAL teenage diarist is back in the second book in Sue Townsend''s brilliantly funny, touching and bestselling Adrian Mole series.

''If I turn out to be mentally deranged in adult life, it will be all my mother''s fault.''


Adrian Mole continues to struggle valiantly against the slings and arrows of growing up and his own family''s attempts to scar him for life in this second volume of his secret diary.

''I not only wept, I howled and hooted and had to get up and walk around the room and wipe my eyes so that I could go on reading'' Tom Sharpe

''A satire of our times. Very funny indeed''
Sunday Times

''We laugh both at Mole and with him. A wonderful comic read, that, like all the best comedy, says something rather meaningful'' Heat
