The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ Sue Townsend Summary From book jacket: Adrian Mole is a worrier. From book jacket: Adrian Mole is a worrier. The problems of existence hit him hard. Spots, bits of him that won't seem to keep still, the cracks in his parents' marriage, all prey heavily on his mind. There are some consolations. A 14 year old feminist, an 89 year old chain smoker and his spoilt best friend all help to lift the gloomy introspection of Mole's moods. Mole believes he is an intellectual. He is certainly a poet. He buys strikingly coloured stationery on which to write his poems and send them to the B.B.C. He is dogged by ill health as well as by an infuriatingly ever-present pet dog, and by a catalogue of misfortunes familiar to anyone over the age of 13. ... Sue Townsend's original creation .. [is] a hilarious delight.
