The Georgia Nicholson series by Louise Rennison
Wisdomosity. A psychotic cat. A Snogging Scale (snogging is kissing, for you lot that aren't up to speed on British slang, details of said scale at http://www.georgianicolson.com/extras.html). Hilarious liberties taken with the English language (French and German too, come to think of it). And a believably silly, lip-gloss-obsessed, boy-crazy fourteen year old protagonist, Georgia Nicholson.
What's not to love?
Book One in the series penned by British comedienne Louise Rennison, Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging hooks readers with its diary format and realistic teen voice. From her disastrous attempt at plucking her eyebrows to her frustration with her love life, teens and adults alike will cringe at the familiarity of Georgia's lows and rejoice at her successes. Warning: these books (listed below) will have you blurting out strange new phrases such as "nippy noodles," attempting to recreate the Bison Dance, and laughing out loud (perhaps even snorting) -- so read with caution. Consolation: glossaries in the back of each book help you through both the Britishisms and the Georgiaisms. Brain candy at its finest, you can whip through one book in a night, and cheer yourself up immensely, especially if you're no longer fourteen and dealing with adolesence!
Book 2: On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God
Book 3: Knocked Out by My Nunga Nungas
Book 4: Dancing in my Nuddy Pants
Book 5: Away Laughing on a Fast Camel
Book 6: Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers
Book 7: Startled by His Furry Shorts
