Teenage humour and high profile author. The first book by Louise Rennison on our list and a global acquistion with HCUS. Funky teenage protagonist gets taken to live in the USA much against her wishes. What happens there is a wise-cracking, gob-smacking, screamingly funny account to rival any of Louise Rennison's previous 'Georgia' books, and more!
Praise for TEACHING LITTLE FANG: "Bold and clever, this book is a romp, really funny" Spectator "Mark Swallow's debut has enough difference about it to set it more than slightly apart" Literary Review "Chronicling the frustrated youth's anxieties, excitements and obsessions, it is sharp and sometimes hilarious" Independent
Louise Rennison lives in Brighton, the San Francisco of England (apart from the sun, Americans, the Golden Gate Bridge, and earthquakes). Since the success of her one-woman autobiographical show, Stevie Wonder Felt My Face, she has written for many British comedy stars; currently she is a roving reporter and columnist and is working on two more books about Georgia. She has two goldfish, Finn and Bjork, who are her biggest fans.
