About this ebook
As his secret diary extends into his later teen years, the angsty Brit remains "part Holden Caulfield, part . . . B ertie Wooster " and all Adrian ( The New York Times ).
Send my diaries back. I would hate them to fall into unfriendly , possibly commercial hands. I am afraid of blackmail; as you know my diaries are full of sex and scandal.
What's happening to Adrian Mole? He's on the cusp of adulthood and burgeoning success as a published poet. But . . . he still lives at home, refuses to part with his threadbare stuffed rabbit, and has lost his job at the library for a shocking act of impudence: He shelved Jane Austen under "light romance." Even worse, someone named Sue Townsend stole his diaries and published them under her own name. Of course they were bestsellers.
The "brilliant comic creation" returns, sharing his poetry (award-winning!), travel journals (he's going places), musings on lost love (more of an obsession), and some major news (he's writing a novel!) ( The Times). But not all the confessions are his alone. We also hear from that notorious pilferer Townsend, who, after receiving a suspended prison sentence, now lives in shame in a bleak moorland cottage. Don't tell Adrian, but the New York Times Book Review still insists that it's she who "is a national treasure."
From "one of Britain's most celebrated comic writers" ( The Guardian) comes the inventive new novel in the "perceptive and funny" ( The New York Times) series that has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide, was adapted for television and staged as a musical, and is nothing less than "a phenomenon" ( The Washington Post).

About the author
Sue Townsend was born in Leicester, England, in 1946. Despite not learning to read until the age of eight, leaving school at fifteen with no qualifications, and having three children by the time she was in her mid-twenties, she managed to be very well read. Townsend wrote secretly for twenty years, and after joining a writers' group at the Phoenix Theatre, Leicester, she won a Thames Television Award for her first play, Womberang, and became a professional playwright and novelist. Following the publication of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 133⁄4, she continued to make the nation laugh and prick its conscience with seven more volumes of Adrian's diaries, five popular novels—including The Queen and I, Number Ten, and The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year—and numerous well-received plays. Townsend passed away in 2014 at the age of sixty-eight, and remains widely regarded as Britain's favorite comic writer.
