Sarah's Strange Reading Choices

Now that I've finished this series I thought I should do a little explaining. I'm sure if you've looked at the titles that are listed in my Sarah's Summer Reading section you may be a little concerned about what I'm doing to occupy my brain (mostly to avoid thinking) this summer. Near the end of the school year I went into the library looking for a list of books to read over the summer that I could then recommend to my students. The librarian went nuts and I ended up with 20 books from our school library. All the books written by Louise Rennison are a series titled The Confessions of Georgia Nicolson. I have absolutely LOVED this series, and I have started passing them to Emma and McKenna to read. They are written in diary form by Georgia Nicolson. Georgia lives in England and progresses from 9th to 11th grade during the 8 books. She is hysterical, there were many times that I was laughing out loud! Georgia has got a crazy cat, Angus, a nutty family, a gang of friends that are just as nutty as her family, and teenage drama that makes you think, "Oh, maybe I REALLY don't miss junior high!" Because Georgia is from England some of the words she uses are strange, so in every book she provides a dictionary for us "dim-witted Americans." I highly recommend these books for kids in junior high as well as anyone who just wants to read something light and fun. You can visit Georgia online at www.georgianicolson.com
