Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE (MIS)ADVENTURES OF TALLULAH CASEY SERIES: "I don't know how, but Louise Rennison has done it again. Tallulah is even funnier, warmer, and sweeter than her cousin Georgia Nicolson. I fell in love with Withering Tights, and you will too!" -- Meg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries and the Abandon series

"Louise Rennison has created another superbly realistic and hilarious young teen heroine, a younger Georgia Nicolson, in the first book of a new series.
