Very hilarious. Kept me laughing the whole time

Georgia Nicolson records her often hilarious exploits of her fourteen year old life. She struggles through trying to find a way to hide her large nose, learn how to kiss and get Robbie (AKA the Sex God) to notice her.

This was a fun read but it did take me a while to get into it. By the end, after knowing the characters I was really enjoying the story. The book a was a bit smuttier than I was expecting but I guess it has been a long while since I was a teenager. There was British swearing which didn't bother. Georgia seems a bit young for a seventeen (almost eighteen year old) boy to like. Overall, a fun read with an entertaining heroine and some fantastic situations for comedy. ( )

Not my cup of tea...certainly funny in places as a 'peek' into the thoughts of a teenage girl...very popular with the teenage girls at our school...

This series was my ultimate guilty pleasure in middle school! I remember reading it between the aisles in my local library, too fearful of my mother's wrath to even take it home.

What a fun book, though. The protagonist is alternately insane and shockingly witty, and the "dear diary" format makes for an amusing episodic read (perfect for 30-minute perusals between bookshelves). Today, I'd say I appreciate the way the books illustrate but don't condone or endorse the boy-obsessed phase that most teenaged girls go through--and the "snogging scale" ended up being quite useful in college. ;] ( )

Journal of a 15 year old, British girl, named Georgia. Georgia is a typical teenage girl, she hates her parents, her friends are everything to her, and she worries about what she looks like, and is confused about boys. Georgia and her group of friends get themselves into all kinds of trouble from devising plans to wear their berets in the most inconspicuous way to snagging the gorgeous grocery boy. Georgia is just beginning to find herself and has boy trouble, friend trouble, and parent trouble just like every teenage girl.

I really liked this book. It is very cute and every teenage girl can relate to the things that Georgia is going through. From a first kiss to fights with parents this is a perfect book for a teenager. The book is a chapter book and obviously not appropriate for young children, call it PG 13, I would refer it to any teenage or even adult women.

1.) Discuss with teenagers writing their own journals and how this can be an important way to document the present and look back once an adult.
2.) Have teenagers write a story about a scheme that they and their friends devised. Include consequences of the scheme.
