Synopsis

Teens who adore Louise Rennison's heroine Georgia Nicolson will love her cousin Tallulah Casey even more! Meg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author of the Princess Diaries series, raved, "Tallulah is even funnier, warmer, and sweeter than her cousin Georgia Nicolson."

In The Taming of the Tights, the third book in the (Mis)Adventures of Tallulah Casey series, Tallulah and her mates are back to finish their winter term at the Dother Hall performing arts program. And Tallulah is determined to finally show the world she's a true star of the stage!

Out of the spotlight, Tallulah's life is filled with just as much drama. She's distracted by bad-boy Cain and trying her best to keep her accidental snog-session with him a secret. And although she is slowly beginning to think that maybe he's not so bad after all, she also continues to wonder about unavailable Charlie and dreamy Alex. Who would make the perfect leading man?

From the Back Cover

I'm on the celebrity train of life, chugging back to Dother Hall, the theater of dreams. Once more getting ready to fill my tights!

It's time for an encore! Tallulah is determined to finally show the world she's a true star of the stage!

Out of the spotlight, Tallulah's life is filled with just as much drama. She's trying her best to keep her accidental snog-session with Cain a secret, but everyone is getting suspicious that she's hiding something. And while she begins to think that maybe Cain's not so bad after all, she also continues to wonder about unavailable Charlie and dreamy Alex. Who would make the perfect leading man?

Louise Rennison proves the show must go on, as she sends Tallulah and her mates on another high-spirited, madcap comedy of errors.

Reviews

Fifteen-year-old Tallulah boards with a benignly strange village family while attending an artsy college (British high school) neighboring a school for “bad boys.” At school, Lullah’s gal group is known as the Tree Sisters, because they make their (usually group) assignations with the lads from the neighboring school at a post in the woods between institutions. The younger cousin of Georgia—who has her own series, kicked off in Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging (2000)—Lullah works here to combine Georgia’s romantic insights, her own attraction to Charlie, and her distraction with village Lothario Cain, all while staying on as good a side as she can with her school’s owlish headmistress. Third in the (Mis)Adventures of Tallulah Casey series (after Withering Tights, 2011), this very British teen chick lit will find its most welcome audience among Georgia fans. A lot of small events happen, strung together with Lullah’s lists, obsessive worrying, and, though not very thoroughly realized in print, silly dancing. Grades 7-10. --Francisca Goldsmith
