As the titles indicate, Georgia Nicolson's diaries of contemporary adolescent life in middle-class England are aimed at hilarity.

Georgia has to deal with a much younger sister, a powerful cat, parents who do not see things her way, and the tribulations of finding a boyfriend. Basically realistic in their handling, the diaries are also characterized by wacky teen slang, some vivid description, and ridiculous situations and characters. Anyone who is or has been a teen can identify with Georgia. Life's little absurdities can be engaging.
