Synopsis
Adrian Mole has entered early middle age and is now "the same age as Jesus was when he died" (33). Father to the grammatically challenged Glenn, and William—who takes a "Big Boy Arouser" condom to nursery school as his innocent contribution to a hot-air balloon project—Adrian is a single parent who has an on/off relationship with his housing officer, Pamela Pigg. But will she help him to move from the notorious Gaitskell estate before little William joins the Mad Frankie Fraser fan club?In the meantime, Adrian continues to be scandalized by his irresponsible mother and father, who are conducting a matrimonial square-dance with the Braithwaites—parents of the beautiful but unobtainable Pandora, who is ruthlessly pursuing her ambition to be New Labour's first woman PM—and to confide in his diary.His current worries indestructible head-lice; his raging jealously when his accomplished half-brother Brett unexpectedly arrives on his doorstep; moral decline in The Archers ; his desperate attachment to two therapists; his mild addiction to Starburst (formerly Opal Fruits); a small earthquake in Leicester; and, perhaps most significantly, the dawn of a new millennium.

About the Author
Sue Townsend was born in Leicester 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 always found time to read widely. She also wrote secretly for twenty years. 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. After the publication of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 133/4, Sue continued to make the nation laugh and prick its conscience. She wrote seven further volumes of Adrian's diaries and five other popular novels - including The Queen and I, Number Ten and The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year - and numerous well received plays. Sue passed away in 2014 at the age of sixty-eight. She remains widely regarded as Britain's favourite comic writer.
