Synopsis

Brilliantly funny, Louise Rennison’s fabby fourth book on the confessions of crazy but lovable Georgia Nicolson. Now in gorgey new paperback and guaranteed to have the nation laughing their knickers off!

Phoned Jas.
“Jas?”
“Oui.”
“Do you ever get the urge?”
“Pardon?”
“You know, to flow free and wild.”
She was thinking.
“Well, sometimes, when Tom and I are alone in the house together...”
“Yes...”
“We flick each other with flannels.”
“Jas, you keep talking on the telephone and I will send out for help.”
“It’s good fun... what you do is...”
“Jas, Jas, guess what I am doing now?”
“Are you dancing?”
“Yes, I am, my strange little pal. But what am I dancing in?”
“A bowl?”
“Jas, don’t be silly. Concentrate. Try to get the image of me flowing wild and free.”
“Are you dancing in... your PE knickers?”
“Non... I am DANCING IN MY NUDDY-PANTS!!!”
And we both laughed like loons on loon tablets.

About this title

Review:

Dancing in My Nuddy Pants takes up Georgia Nicolson's tale of red bottomosity, continuing her diary just the day after the third instalment, Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas. The Ace gang and the Bummers make strong appearances alongside the essential Sex God (SG) and Dave the Laugh, while little sister Libby has the most laugh-out-loud moments. A school trip to Paris with "gorgey Henri" is one highlight of the winter months, even resulting in Georgia coming top in French. However, her attitude to school and boys remains the same as ever:

8.00 pm I am so worried about school. I have so much to do tomorrow. 8.10 pm I can do my nails and foundation and eye stuff during RE--Miss Wilson won't notice ... But I suppose even she might notice if I took my curling tongs into class...

We are introduced to some new concepts, such as the "General Horn" and the "Cosmic Horn" (from the one and only Dave the Laugh, who of course gave us "nunga-nungas" and "nippy noodles"); learn about unplanned pregnancy with Angus' "trouser snake addendums" and Naomi the sex kitten (literally); ponder whether it is better to love someone for their maturiosity or their lip-nibbling; and reluctantly make a stand for the less popular girls.

This instalment of Georgia's diary is "THE OFFICIAL AND PROPER END PROBABLY". All that any fan of Georgia's is likely to say when they hear this is "Erlack", and beg Louise Rennison for more hilariosity. --Olivia Dickinson
